I am guessing it will be some years. I see nothing in the society that could turn into respect for life, perhaps it is still going in the wrong direction. 

What do you mean forced abortion?

Under family pressure or under the law?

I once saw a documentary about a chimpanzee pack. A low-ranking female was pregnant, and unexpectedly gave birth to twins. Her pack was expecting her to have a baby, and accepted it. But when 2 high-ranking females saw that she gave birth to TWO babies, they approached her to kill the infants. The high-rank chimps anticipated that the low-rank female would gain more influence in the pack due to giving birth to 2 babies, so sought to prevent that. The low-rank female wisely climbed up a high tree with babies in hand.
Then, one of the most disturbing moments I ever witnessed on TV: The 2 chasing females held out their hands in a loving gesture directed at the fugitive mother. The narrator explained their intention: "Don't worry, we love you. You are part of our family. We just want to kill your babies."
The fugitive mom kept her distance, and eventually the chasing females returned to the pack. The fugitive mom observed the situation for a while, and after half an hour decided to rejoin the pack. The 2 chasing moms had come to accept the 2 new babies, and were no longer murderous of intent. The new mother let the whole pack hold and play with the new babies. All of them! Another disturbing moment in TV viewing for me.
How does this relate to China? I'd say, hide in the countryside during legal abortion time, if you can't pay the 'fine' for your extra baby. These people are no better than the chimpanzees. But they (usually) will not kill the babies once they have human rights. I've heard of extremely late term forced abortions, but those are miscarriages of justice. No pun intended.

Who forced the abortion? When will Hulk add pertinent details? 

Thank god China allows abortion. When will anti-abortion people respect women's lives?

That's just wrong... 

Personally, if someone forced my wife to abort a baby you would read about a crazy foreigner then blew up an abortion clinic (or hole in the ground, whatever they are) and murdered like 30 people that kidnapped and forced her in abortion. 

And while you are reading it, I would be in Thailand sipping a margarita. 

Vengeance is a dish best served ice cold. 

I never heard of forced abortions. One of my friends was a young woman that had 2 children, she had to give one up. I'm not saying I agree with this. She told me that if I ever wanted a child that I should adopt and she would help me find one.

I still have not been able to track down this documentary, was shown recently at film festivals, but alas, not in the PRC (Poorly Run Cinemas)

Can't provide details while they're still in China. Suffice to say, both mom and dad are leaving soon.

I will be flamed big style for this.... but here goes.

This is the biggest difference I have seen between culture  here compared to the west.  Because children here seem to have been a commodity here historically, the way to punish an adult is to deprive them of his/her child. In other words, his/her pension.

You know, it is just possible the one child rule here has saved billions of children from abject poverty, squalor and abandonment.

Imagine if typical poor uneducated farmer couple could have as many babies as they liked. I am sure it would be a case of " Urgh another girl.... throw her down the well". Or " Oh we have a son at last, sell the 2 girls to that man in the next village".

Consider school bus crashes. They are normally in the country, and the outrage does not seem to be about the actual kids dying, it's about the parents losing their child.

But because the number of children per couple are limited, Chinese families are starting to cherish their kids. China has little emperors rather than legions of unwanted child beggers

At home, I often heard people say there are too many people in the world. Famine in Africa?.......... "give them condoms". I am sure every has heard someone say this.

Well, China is doing something about population growth. And most Chinese I have talked  to to about the policy say it is unfair, but they understand the reason behind it.

How often have you heard " There are too many people in China"?

So they have a rule. One child for couples where one of the partnership have a sibling. Two children if they are both single children themselves.

People who work in the city with country Houkou get round the rules by having the second or third child in their hometown where the fine is lower. Because don't forget, you can have loads if you can pay the fine. Lot's of people get divorced because the fine for a single parent is less than for a married couple.

There is a law, but as always in China there is often a way around it.

So what happens if a couple already have two kids, have not paid the fine for the second, then get another on the way?  Then they say they will never pay a fine.  That's good of course, they are standing up for their human rights. But if everyone in China done that the population would double within a couple of decades.

Of course enforced abortions are abhorant.   I think they are very rare, and I think when it happens it is under exceptional circumstances.

I know a girl in her late 20's who has 5 siblings. Her parents are still paying the fines.

It's rather unfair of Hulk to present this question without any background to his story.

Right... flame away.

Chinese society and government has such little respect for life after birth, that it's little surprise there is even less respect for life before birth.

Still, it's not like China is alone in not respecting human life... just that it takes this to the extreme.

I know a Chinese woman in her mid-20s who can't procreate, she's the second of her parents and when she was a kid she was sterilized by doctors using some chemical in a syringe that probably damaged her body. Probably ordered by some official in charge of demographics.

That's how much China value life.

china chose the one child policy to their detriment,

hindsight being 20/20, developed societies become more wealthy and people become selfish and have less children, if china had concentrated on wealth even for the countryside, i think this population problem would have cured itself like it has in japan and many other countries, i think there method will cause the transition to be a large fast drop from a cliff,  rather than a harmonious gradually declining small hill to the next hill until you reach a valley.

crashing the population in 50 years or slowing the crash to a century, maybe they just wanted to get it over as quickly as possible, but it sure cost a lot emotional heartache along the way.
