"US court grants asylum over forced abortion victims from China", what the heck is that all about?

Question

How can a country like America where it is not only legal, but embraced, for women to have an abortion be handing out asylum to women from other countries who were forced to have one?

Here's the news story.

This makes no sense to me.

Answer 1

O-o-k-a-a-y... let me get this news out into CHINA; think the US social system won't go bust with another 100,000 Chinese immigrants who want to extend their family lines. Thanks for highlighting this news. America, what a country!!

Answer 2

This is forced abortion. They'll come into your house and perform abortion by force in some cases. I think that's worthy of granting asylum for.

Wouldn't you want to run away if your gov break your door down and force abortion on your wife?

Answer 3

it fairly is compelled abortion. they're going to come into your place and carry out abortion via stress each so often. i think of it is worth of granting asylum for. does no longer you elect to run away in the adventure that your gov ruin your door down and stress abortion on your spouse?

Answer 4

In America its not compulsory. In China, due to the huge population and complete control of your life by the communist government, it isn't - there is a "one child per couple" policy. Having more than one child is heavily discouraged, and sometimes enforced with abortions. Aren't you glad you don't live there?

Hey, are you Tobias The Commie in JREF Forums? Hiya.

I think this is backlash over Trent Lott's support for some atrocities in Palau, where he was there giving the US Government stamp of approval for forced abortions for factory workers.
