Do forced abortions take place in China? Are Women sometimes physically forced to go to an abortion clinic?
I have read many reports by human rights organisations such as Amnesty International that in China women are sometimes physically forced to go to abortion clinics by government officials and pinned down while the abortion takes place. Has anyone else heard of this? I'm would especially like to hear from Doctors and nurses who work in China and would like to know if they have ever actually seen this happen! Here are my sources of information: http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/index.php?nav=wujian http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article5733835.ece another source: http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/21819/ I also read of a case where a pregnant woman died while trying to escape from a forced abortion.

Yes a lot of women in China are forced to do this because a married couple can only have 1 child because China is so big, that if you have more than 1 you get in alot of trouble for it and if you are pregnant you are forced to miscarry the baby, because in China you can only have 1 child, and if you are pregnant with a girl you definitely have to miscarry, wether you like it or not, and this happens even if you are having a boy. Yes women are always physically forced to go to a abortion clinic if they already have the 1 child they are supposed to have.

People are not allowed to have a certain amount of children, dew to the over flooding of population. However people will not actually forced to have an abortation in the imaginative way you believe. At least not in todays world. I have seen women on television, hiding there kids from other people. However it is the birth permit law. This is why there is sooo many Chinese immigrants, in the USA.

I wouldn't doubt that some forced abortions happen in China AND in many other parts in the world. There is a one child policy in China because their population is already so big, and yes many prefer a baby boy than a girl to carry on the family name. However, if you have more than one child- you just have to pay more tax or something for each child you have. In the rural/poorer areas, families have more than one child to help with work and i think that they are allowed to do so.
