Abortions In China

In china there are many abortions that women are forced to do without their free will. Forced abortions, sterilization and the killing of innocent infants is cruel and unnecessary. The government should find another way of dealing with china’s immense population. Even though they need to control the amount of people it shouldn’t be forced upon women to make the decision without proper planning. This is a serious issue that not only jeopardizes the child’s life but also his or her mothers. I also think that Chinas laws are too strict for people to abide by.
A forced abortion such as the One Child Policy in china has a negative impact on many people. There has been a large increase on the number of deaths in the female infants that have been caused by their own parents. It is also uncommon for women in china to become pregnant with a second child, but if the woman continues with her pregnancy then it is not likely for that child to live due to Chinas strict laws. For example if the Chinese authorities get informed that a woman is pregnant with her second child, they have the right to drag her out of her house or if she’s not home they take her husband or family member into custody until they have turned themselves in.

The abortion procedures in China are unnerving to most people. Doctors usually inject women with a substance called Rivalor, which causes direct heart failure to the baby. The baby will die within the next few days, and then it is delivered dead. Another way of performing the abortion is injecting pure formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is an embalming fluid that causes sterilization. The chemical is also used for treating textiles such as particle board and plywood. Knowing that this drug is hazardous to the baby’s health it is still inserted into the soft spot on the baby’s head so that as he or she is being delivered, the doctor can crush the baby’s skull with his forceps. Other doctors use chokers which are similar to twisty garbage ties. They are placed around the baby's neck so he or she can be strangled once they are delivered.

Not only has the One Child Policy destroyed families but it is also a sexiest issue. According to the Chinese tradition, there must be a male child in order for the family to continue. Which means that the female infants are often killed, aborted, or left to die. According to a 1992 survey, the sex ratio of newborns was 118 males for every 100 females. These statistics indicate what the world had already speculated, that there is a great amount of female infanticide occurring in China. Regardless of being a female or male all children should be treated equally and should not be favored by what sex they are. They are all human beings and should be treated like any other person in this world.

However the Chinese doctors are no different from authorities, because they are being paid by their government to collect names of those unwilling victims who will conceive a baby. So not only are women being forced to be sterilized but they are also being tricked by their own doctors. Which is not right because the doctors should be the
