China Forcibly Aborts Third Child; Forced Abortion Continues Under Its Two-Child Policy
By Life Site News. The Chinese Government, operating under the Two-Child Policy, has forcibly aborted a woman’s third child, according to NPR and Radio Free Europe reports.
The woman, an ethnic Kazakh, was a widow with two children, living in the Xinjiang region. She married a Kazakh citizen, living in Kazakhstan, across the border. She was told that, in order to cancel her Chinese citizenship to become a citizen of Kazakhstan, she would need to return to China.
On this return trip, Chinese cadres invited her to the hospital for a “health check-up.” They discovered that she was pregnant and demanded an abortion, because this third pregnancy violated the Two-Child policy – even though she told them, “my husband is a Kazakh citizen and I am carrying a Kazakh citizen.” . . .
The fact that forced abortion continues under China’s Two-Child Policy is further documented in the Population Control section of the 2018 Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) Report, which states that regulations “include provisions that require couples to be married to have children and limit them to bearing two children…Officials reportedly continued to enforce compliance with family planning policies using methods including heavy fines, job termination, detention, and abortion.” (Read more from “China Forcibly Aborts Third Child; Forced Abortion Continues Under Its Two-Child Policy” HERE)

‘They Ordered Me to Get an Abortion’: A Chinese Woman’s Ordeal in Xinjiang
By NPR. When the 37-year-old Chinese woman stepped over China’s border into Kazakhstan last July, she felt free. . .
Then she met the man who changed her life. Like her, he was an ethnic Kazakh. Unlike her, he was a citizen of Kazakhstan, from across the border. . .
The couple’s life together as husband and wife was established. The only thing left for the woman to do was to complete the paperwork to cancel Chinese citizenship for her and her children, so that they could become Kazakh citizens. For this, she had to return to her hometown in China. . .
“I thought they wanted to interrogate me again,” she says. “But they took me to the hospital instead. They administered another health check, and then they told me I was pregnant.” . . .
She was six weeks along. Before she could share the news with her husband, local authorities returned to her house the next day. “They ordered me to get an abortion,” she says. . .
“The police and local officials came and took me and my brother to a government building,” the woman says. “They made my brother sign a document saying that if I don’t get an abortion, he would suffer the consequences. I knew this meant he’d be detained in a camp. I’d do anything to protect my brother, so I agreed to the abortion.” (Read more from “‘They Ordered Me to Get an Abortion’: A Chinese Woman’s Ordeal in Xinjiang” HERE)
