Gan Yulan, a woman from a small town in Jianxi Province of China, was blindfolded and forced to have a sterilization operation by local township officials on March 23. Gan told a reporter that she was assaulted by the deputy director of the Local People's Congress on the way to the hospital and was forced to be sterilized without any family members present.
Four officers took her into custody without showing any legal warrant. The officer who assaulted her on the way to the hospital was deputy director, Wang Xuebing. When asked why he hit her, Wang said: "You are nobody. I can do whatever I want to you."
When they got to the local hospital, she was forced undergo the procedure without any preliminary medical screening or family members presence. Wang didn't even allow her to go home after the procedure and told her that she had no other choice.
Wu, the Dagang Township Supervisor, told the reporter that Gan had been notified six times during the past three years she needed to have the sterilization. He said, "Gan gave birth to her first child in 2001, and the second one in 2006, which already violated the one-child policy. She was supposed to have the procedure in September of ‘06."
Gan complained about the fine she had to pay every year because she didn’t have the operation. "I paid the $120 fine in 2008 and was told that I didn't have to have the sterilization done. They asked me to pay the fine again this year. My husband is a low-paid construction worker and I couldn't afford it. They then basically told me that I had to have the procedure. It's all about money," Gan said.
Wu said the local township officials had taken care of the dispute. He admitted that there were some disagreements and fighting between Gan and the officials that day, but repeatedly stressed that Gan was not forced in any way. However, Gan insisted that she was forced. Gan’s account was later verified by many eyewitnesses.
Forced abortions and routine sterilization operations are commonplace in China though China's family planning regulations prohibit forced sterilizations. It is understood that the Chinese media usually doesn't report disputes involving family planning. A victim wrote on a well-known blog, "I went to TV stations and newspapers for help, but was declined for one simple reason—the family planning dispute is not an approved topic."
Another blogger wrote that only the judicial bodies have the right to impose coercive measures to restrict personal freedom. The Family Planning Office shouldn't have the authority to force people to have sterilizations.
Sickening to read. Humans are the plague to leftists.
And here in this country we have octo mom.
I think I'll just leave this here.
I’d really rather not see that.
I don’t think anyone forced octomom to have IVF treatments.
Dude, I am trying to eat.
Nope. They just did that to her for free, knowing she can’t pay or provide.
China has had the one child law for several decades. How does the population continue to grow if two people have one child? The numbers don’t add up.
My favorite “China has so many people” trivia:
If you took all the people in China and laid them end to end around the world, 70% of them would drown.
When two people have one child they don’t immediately die.
The demographic is aging (look up a chart for the numbers of members of various age groups in China).
Octomom is infinitely preferable to this.
However, the minority districts and their populations in China have NO restrictions.
I don’t see what the big deal is... One kid, that’s the law.
And a horrible law it is.
It’s preferable to Obama’s method of sterilization after the baby’s already been born.
“And a horrible law it is.”
We have worse laws in the United States. Like... The mother can kill the child for whatever reason. Life is sacred, fertility is not.
Frankly, there are women here that should not be allowed to reproduce and should be sterilized. IMO
Huh?
From the information I am getting...the one child system is going south..because custom is:
#1..that a family desires a son first,after he marrys he moves in w/bride and takes care of Mom&Dad &wife,and her mom & dad too.
#2..if a girl is born first,she’s aborted or adopted out(explaining desire for a breadwinner in #1)
Chinese in rural areas don’t always abide by 1 child law because they need the farm help and they love their children.And social workers don’t stop by that much,some have as many as 7 to 8 children.
But China is getting worried that their population has declined and the males complain they can not find a wife,and don’t have a big choice in brides.Many don’t marry til 40yrs old or never..therefore no babies.
Some women that are not afraid,like (the story) may have 1 or 2 children but eventually get caught the second time and hospitals fix them automatically after the #2 birth.(In cities).
My girlfriend(lives in US now)has 2.For the second pregnantcy she quit her job at the hospital and laid low...going out very early to the park for recreation and coming home late in evening so she wouldn’t be seen.
Heck-of-a-way to live, huh?
