China's one-child Policy (blogpost #3--3/22/13) Could there be an end to Chinas one-child Policy? According to Theatlantic.com, Beijing might be getting rid of this law. They are talking about whether the law can just be dropped or not. Even though in therioy the policy sounds like it would work, it has actually caused more harm. With forced abortions and fines. In some cases they kill the child after it is born, leaving the parents with a dead child. Another peoblem with this law that makes china consider getting rid of it is there is no brothers or sisters. Each family can only have one child, therefor no kids have siblings.

I think that Chinese people need to be more educated. There shouldn't be a law telling you how many kids you can have because what happens if you accidentally do get pregnant? Citizens shouldn't have to get an abortion and go through all the empational trama just because they want another child. Personally I think the law should be abolished.

Today I read a story about a nine month old baby that was aborted because the mother already had a child. The picture showed a dead baby laying in a red bucket. They poisoned the mother and then pulled the live baby. The baby started to cry and the doctor just threw it into the bucket to die. Women are hunted down and forced to have abortions.

Another story that I read today was about a women who already had 2 children but she was pregnant another child. One day she was at home and people came to her house and tried to take her way. there was too many people for her husband to stop them. So they took her away away and she didn't see her family until the next day. They gave her a forced abortion and killed her baby. According to Barbara Demick "this is one of the biggest sources of anger towards the Chinese communist party."

China's one-child Policy (Blogpost #1--3/11/13) The reason for the "one-child policy" in china is to cut down on population. This sounds like a good policy to have when China has a population of 1,344,130,000 but it has it flaws. In China everyone wants to have a son. More often then not girls are hidden so that no one can see them or even aborted. 25% of babies aborted in china are just because they are girls. Thousands of girls end up in orphanages all over China. Since no parent seems to want a girl the male population is extremely high and researchers believe that in a few decades the boys wont have anyone to marry because there will not be very few girls left. Girls are also kidnapped and sold to men as wives. On the other hand boys in china are treated like "little emperors" just because they were born boys and not girls.

If parents were to break the "one-child policy" they would face consequences such as a fine. The policy enforcers will go to extremes to make sure that parents pay fines. According to AFT and and infowars.com A 13 month old baby boy was ran over by an official in Wenzhou, China because his parents would not pay a fine. After the parents got mad at him for asking them to pay the fine he put the baby down and crushed him. However the murder was labeled as an "accident". The AFV report states, “Under China’s population controls, instituted more than 30 years ago, couples who have more than one child must pay a “social upbringing” fine, while in some cases mothers have been forced to undergo abortions.”
