We realize that you hate strong women, but such a stupidly dishonest claim as the one above is, well, actually rather typical of you. >It is common knowledge that China only allows urban married >couples to have a single child — and enforces this Draconian >policy with forced abortions.

Used to.  Don’t.  A fact which you would have been aware of if you had actually managed to pull your head out of your ass long enough to read the article you posted. >http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WAPO/19981201/V000719-120198-… [...] >        He said China has agreed to abide by international >    demands that its programs not be coercive and is open- >    ing clinics and programs to "international scrutiny, >    comment and change.”

Prove it.  That left-wing commie rag, Time magazine, recently said that there is "some anecdotal evidence that these abuses [forced abortions and similar human rights violations] happen but no evidence that the government promotes them."  (Time, June 29, "How Bad Is China?")  The so-called "one child" policy was abandoned years ago in rural China, which is where all of the alleged forced abortions occured, and urban Chinese, who are more subject to economic and social pressures, also prefer to have just one or two children like everyone else in the urbanized world.

Papa Jack cites: It is interesting to note that one of Hillary’s boys in the State Dept. is praising China’s population control tactics.   It is common knowledge that China only allows urban married couples to have a single child — and enforces this Draconian policy with forced abortions.  The very next day, the govern- ment is repressing dissidents by throwing their leaders in jail. Let’s review excerpts from the two articles:  ———— On December 1, 1998, the Washington Post carried an AP article by David Briscoe titled "U.S. Praises China Family Planning." http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WAPO/19981201/V000719-120198-… Excerpts follow:   ________________________________________________________________         The State Department official who oversees population         issues praised family planning progress in China and         said Tuesday that he would fight to restore U.S. fund-         ing for U.N. population programs, including those in         China.         [snip]         A congressional ban on funding for the United Nations         Population Fund has “terrible, immediate human conse-         quences,” said Frank E. Loy, undersecretary of state         for global affairs, at a conference on women and pop-         ulation. Under current law, no aid can go to the U.N.         population program as long as it has programs in China,         which critics say has been forcing pregnant women to         have abortions.         Loy acknowledged occasional problems and abuses over         the years in China and said U.S. officials would "react         firmly to allegations of coercion or abuse."         He said China has agreed to abide by international         demands that its programs not be coercive and is open-         ing clinics and programs to "international scrutiny,         comment and change.”         [snip]         Loy also said the United States contributes $385 mil-         lion a year in family planning assistance, making it         the largest single bilateral donor in the world.   ________________________________________________________________ On DECEMBER 2, 1998, the Express-News carried an AP article by Charles Hutzler titled: "China Detains High-Profile Dissidents."         http://wire.ap.org/ Excerpts:         BEIJING (AP)
