This china one child policy is obviously an income generator for the government and the poor are the ones suffering for it. If Feng Jianmei was able to pay the fine for having an extra child she wouldn't be in this predicament, a fee of about a million naira plus! ($6400).
Is this what a life is worth in china?!! Below is her story.

Feng Jianmei says she was
manhandled by seven people, some of
them local family planning officials,
some of whom she didn't know.
Feng, 22 years old and seven months
pregnant, was dragged out of her
relative's home, carried and shoved
into a van that headed straight to a
hospital on June 2, she told NBC News
in phone interview.
She was blindfolded, thrown on a
bed, and forced to sign a document
that she couldn't read with the
blindfold still on her eyes. Then two
shots were injected into her belly.
Thirty hours later, on the morning
June 4, she gave birth to a dead baby
girl.
Feng is one of the many Chinese
women who have been forced to have
abortions under China's strict one-
child-only policy started in late 1970s
to contain the country's fast growing
population, which has now topped 1.3
billion people.
One-child policy
China's long time Communist leader
Chairman Mao Zedong originally
encouraged women to have as many
children as possible during the Cold
War-era when human power was
believed to be an important force if
war broke out. But the country's
rulers soon found it too difficult to
feed the huge population – so they
adopted a harsh policy that allows
urban citizens to have only one child,
and rural couples to have two, if the
first child is a girl. The policy has been carried out for
more than three decades despite
public opposition, from human rights
activists to ordinary people.
Thousands of years of Chinese culture
fostered the belief that "more
children is more blessing," especially
in remote and rural areas where the
elderly lack adequate social benefits
and depend on children as they grow
old.
Government family planning officials
are also under pressure to make sure
their constituencies follow the quota
of babies allowed. When there's no
clear law telling them what they can
and cannot do, forced abortions,
often on late-terms pregnancies,
have become the norm, particularly
for the poor who are unable to pay
the hefty fines to have additional
children.
Advocates on behalf of these women
are usually ignored or face
government repression. For example,
Chen Guangcheng, the famous blind
lawyer and human rights activist,
represented victims of family
planning abuse in Shandong Province.
Chen was jailed for four years for his
advocacy and put under house arrest
until he recently escaped illegal
detainment and fled to the U.S.
last month.

There are no official figures of how
many women in China unwillingly
terminate pregnancies every year.
"All Girls Allowed," an organized
founded by former 1989 student
protest leader Chai Ling, claims there
are 1.3 million forced abortions
annually.
'How can I agree to do that, as a
mother?'
Feng Jianmei didn't realize she wasn't
allowed to have a second child (her
first daughter was born in 2007) since
everyone else around her was
permitted to have a second child.
Both she and her husband Deng
Jiyuan took for granted that they
would have the same right. But the
family planning office in Zengjiazhen,
a small town in Shaanxi province in
the heart of China, thought
differently. Through a rigorous and rigid
household registration system
designed to control population
movement, the central government
classifies all its citizens as either city
dwellers or rural peasants. The
registration, also known in Chinese as
hukou, determines not only a citizen's
residence but also what kind of social
services individuals are eligible for.
It is very difficult to change one's
hukou although there are many ways,
including marrying a person with a
different registration status, applying
for a new status through one's job, or
paying an enormous sum of money.
The local family planning office
decided that Feng wasn't allowed to
have a second child because she
didn't have the necessary permit –
apparently she had failed to relocate
her hukou to Zengjiazhen when she
moved from her original province of
Inner Mongolia.
But the couple says they had no idea
their plan to have a second child was
connected with Feng's hukou.
They were given another option that
would solve the problem: pay a fine
of $6,400. But that was an impossible
amount for the couple to afford –
Deng is a migrant worker and Feng is
a farmer.
"I told you, $6,400, not even a penny
less. I told your dad that and he said
he has no money," the family
planning official wrote to Deng in a
text message that has been made
public. "You were too careless, you
didn't think this was a big deal."
Feng's sister received the same
warning; if they couldn't afford to
help pay the fine, it was only a
matter of time before her sister had
to get rid of the baby, whether she
wanted to or not.
Things came to a head on June 2, but
according to the local government,
Feng agreed to the abortion.
The Zhenping Population and Family
Planning Bureau released on June 11
an official stamped document, which
says that "after government cadre's
repeated persuasion, Feng Jianmei
agreed to have an abortion at 15:40
on June 2."
"No, I didn't agree to do it," Feng told
NBC News. "How can I agree to do
that, as a mother?" She sobbed when asked what
happened next, and said she was too
upset to think about it. She said all
those officials who kidnapped her
disappeared after the abortion, and
she's still suffering from a constant
headache.
Two appalling photos of her were
taken and posted online that show
her lying in bed, looking weak and
helpless, with a dead and bloody baby
next to her. The photos were taken
by her sister who in turn contacted
the media about the story. The
photos originally appeared in a local
newspaper report online and then
they were picked by netizens and
distributed online.
'If this evil policy is not stopped,
this country will have no humanity'
Forced abortions in China are not
new, but Feng's story spread rapidly
via social media, and outrage was
immediate and unanimous. On Weibo,
China's Twitter-like microblogging
site, netizens left thousands of angry
comments, although many of the
posts were quickly deleted by
government censors.
"The purpose of family planning was
to control population, but now it has
become murder population," wrote Li
Chengpeng, a well-known Chinese
writer. "It was a method to contain
population, but now it is a way to
make money. When you can make
money by killing, what else are you
afraid to do? A seven-month baby can
think already. I want to ask the
murderer, how do you face your own
mother when you go home? If this evil
policy is not stopped, this country
will have no humanity."
Zhao Chu, another writer, called it
pure murder. "This is not about
enforcing the policy, it is about
depriving someone's right to live. We
avoid the nature of it by using a
medical word 'enforced abortion.' For
so long family planning seems like
something completely irrelevant of
human life. It's like coal mining or
digging mushrooms. Human life has
become lifeless indexes, some cold,
meaningless numbers.
"Also, pushed by heavy fines, the
controversial policy has become
profit-oriented activities that
everyone hates. The worst victims
are those of low-class rural people
who have no power to fight. Their
tears and cries are not heard by so
called mainstream society and the
victims become worse than the
untouchables," said Zhao. Many called for the one-child policy
to be outlawed. "We feel so sorry for
the dead baby girl, we criticize those
so-called law enforcers. But we
should rethink the 30-year-long
family planning policy. It'd be worth
it if this could help to change the
policy! We keep our eyes open!"
commented user A-Kun on his Weibo
page.
Even Hu Xijin, chief editor of Global
Times, one of China's most pro-
government newspapers, criticized
the forced abortion on his Weibo
account.
"I strongly oppose the barbarous
forced abortion to this 7-month-
pregnant mother. Time has changed
and the intensity of enforcing family
planning has changed. We should
promote civilized family planning,"
Hu wrote.
But he added that he didn't think the
whole policy should be abolished.
"Don't use Hong Kong and Japan as an
argument to deny China's population
policy. Those places are small and
developed early, fed by the whole
world's resources. But the world
resources cannot afford to feed a
China with billions of people."
'This has damaged the image of
family planning work'
NBC News tried to contact both town
and city level family planning offices
in Zengjiazhen and Ankang, but the
calls went unanswered.
A report from Xinhua, China's official
government news agency, released
on Thursday said that the Shaanxi
Provincial Family Planning Committee
has sent an investigation team to
Zengjiazhen and requested local
government to have the responsible
parties held accountable.
"This has damaged the image of
family planning work, and had an
adverse effect on the society. The
committee will resolutely prevent
such things from happening again,"
the Xinhua news report said.
Feng's conversation with NBC News
was interrupted three times by what
she said were government cadres
entering her hospital ward to talk.
When asked what she would do next
or whether they will seek legal help,
she uttered an answer in a very low
voice: "I have no idea."

Eeyah very sad story.
