Hi I started this thread in hoping to clarify a couple of things about China and abortion. So lets get onething out of the way, during China cultural revolution and Mao Zedong rule forced abortion did happen. Now thats out of the way let me explain how it works today. Lets say a typical couple gives birth to a child, now that child would be cared for by the government. I'm talking School and medical just about anything except for clothing and food. So even a family in poverty can send there child to the most expensive private school free of charge(unless that child get bad grade of course then the school can refuse him or her).
Now most people think that a couple can only give birth to one child. Actually if ask they can petition to have a second child, Usually the permission to bear a second child is given quite freely. The consequence for bearing a third child(or a second one without permission) is that child does not receive any state care at all worse is that the family now must pay extra taxes to the state. If it was an unusual case like say a triplet is born then all three of those children will receive state benefit as if they were one child. So to sum it all up in todays modern China there is no forced abortion.
