People surrounding the abortion issue argue that if a mother were of sound moral character she would let the child live, and mak...

One example of this is the student protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989. The students were protesting the need for political reforms and intellectual freedom. Although no actual changes were reached, the estimated 4500 civilians and 1000 soldiers did not die in vain. The Peoples Republic Of China's handli...
