Infanticide, Forced Abortions, Sterilizations
Time magazine reports the situation as

"one of the most brutal sterilization campaigns of recent years."

(
LifeSiteNews.com) A massive campaign by China's population-control authorities is underway in the country's Shandong province, southeast of Beijing, with accounts of horrible atrocities, including infanticide, forced abortions on women -- even of those in the ninth month of pregnancy -- and the sterilizations of thousands.

Time magazine published a report describing the situation as "one of the most brutal sterilization campaigns of recent years." Time reported the case of Li Juan, a woman whose term baby was forcibly aborted. "The men with the poison-filled syringe arrived two days before Li Juan's due date. They pinned her down on a bed in a local clinic, she says, and drove the needle into her abdomen until it entered the 9-month-old fetus. 'At first, I could feel my child kicking a lot,' says the 23-year-old. 'Then, after a while, I couldn't feel her moving anymore.' " (You can continue reading the grisly account in Time
