torture...


According to a report by the China-based human rights organization 64Tianwang, the woman, Feng Jianmei, was beaten and dragged into a vehicle by a group of Family Planning Officials while her husband, Deng Jiyuan, was out working. The officials asked for RMB 40,000 in fines from Feng Jianmei’s family. When they did not receive the money, they forcibly aborted Feng at seven months, laying the body of her aborted baby next to her in the bed. Feng is under medical treatment in Ankang City, Zhenpin County, Zengjia Town, Yupin village.

This week in China two similar cases on the issue of forced abortions, which the U.S. deems an extreme human rights abuse, are unfolding with potentially very different outcomes.
In the first case, the world was unaware of the abuse as it unfolded and nothing was done to stop it.
In the second case, the U.S. acknowledged awareness of events as they were unfolding. Whether that made a difference or not is hard to tell, but the victim has won at least temporary respite.

 Women’s Rights Without Frontiers has learned that a woman was forcibly aborted at seven months of pregnancy on June 3, 2012.

This just pisses me off.  Dragging the poor women, beating her, then forcing an abortion upon her, and the final task, lying her beautiful baby beside her.   Feng will, never, recover from this psychologically.  This is wicked form of torture and should not be tolerated by anyone! This is not a singular happening, this has happened before and will happen again.
