A Chinese woman has revealed she was dragged from her home in the middle of the night and forced to have an abortion, 3 months before her child was due to be born. Every country with its own troubles.

Liu Xinwen, 33, and her husband Zhou Guoqiang were left devastated after the mother-of-one was pulled from her bed and taken to hospital to be injected with an abortion-inducing drug.

The forced abortion is due to China's strict one-baby policy, introduced in 1979 to keep the country's population under control - the couple already have a son.

The couple claim that they were awoken at 4 am last week after their door was kicked down and 2 dozen officials from the Shandong Province Family Planning Commission forced their way into their home.

Mr Zhou told Sky News how he was held down on the sofa while his terrified wife was taken away to the hospital. He then spent a desperate 5 hours trying to find out where Liu Xinwen had been taken as officials refused to tell him.

When he eventually found his wife at the People's Hospital of Fangzi District in Weifang City, he arrived just minutes after the injection had been administered.

'My wife was lying in bed. I asked her: 'Have you been injected?' She said 'yes'. I asked if the baby was still moving.' She said 'not much,' he told Sky News.
'After that, I didn't want my wife to see my crying. I went outside.'

The baby died in her womb and was delivered a day later - a horrific photo shows the foetus in an orange bucket next to Liu Xinwen curled up on the hospital bed. It was then the couple discovered they had been due to have a little boy, a younger brother for their son Zhou Junfeng, 10.

A sobbing Liu Xinwen told of her grief at aborting her baby saying, 'I miss him.'
'I didn't get to see him. I would be even more upset if I had seen him,' she said.

Mr Zhou claims his wife was forced to sign papers which said she had agreed to the abortion. He said that when she refused she was told if she did not co-operate her husband would be arrested and she would be left with nothing.

She told Sky News that after her son was born she had a contraceptive coil inserted, a procedure proscribed by China. She said it must have failed and she discovered she was expecting a 2nd child when she was 4 months into the pregnancy.

The couple decided against informing the authorities as they feared a forced abortion and instead hoped to pay a fine after the birth - this is sometimes acceptable in parts of China. It is not clear how authorities found out Liu Xinwen was pregnant.
