And from the link you provided:

An immigration judge and the Board of Immigration Appeals had earlier said Xu Ming Li and Xin Kui Yu were ineligible for asylum. In an opinion filed Thursday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed.

The 9th Circuit is the most liberal circuit court out there, and IMO they are so pro-abort that they do not see a problem with a woman being forced to have one, and therefore they do not consider such to be persecution. Likewise, I doubt the Clinton Admin, between their pro-abort stance and their pro-China stance, would have directed the INS to give special consideration to such cases. So work to change the law to clearly define forced abortion or sterilzation as persecution that must be considered as grounds for granting asylum.

Immigration Judges do not work in the same system as the Federal Judges.

It's a complete different system called the EOIR (Executive Office of Immigration Review).
