Was watching a kinda freaky episode on TV that went on about this woman in prison in China that has been going on. Seems this factory worker woman had gotten the desire for a third child and ended up being asked by her boss to get an abortion in order to keep her job which she had gotten. After getting the abortion she was fired anyway, and when she started to campaign about this and revealing issues with the one child policy she was imprisoned and it has been found she is tortured daily in a labor prison type setting.

The house international relations committee seemed fairly disgusted with the whole issue of course (would of course look bad to say you supported forced abortions going on in china) but made me wonder what actually will come of it. It seems as though this is an issue that would probably simply be glazed over on some networks like CNN or FOX news and it doesn't exactly seem as though the president is going to bother go over it (seeing as he's already having the fart about trying to get our own country out of the whole he's dug). But does it seem like this whole incident is going to expand? or will it end up like so many AIDs conferences such as the previous one in Thailand that I'm doubtful anyone even heard of happening this past summer (which seemed really freaky when I noticed it wasn't even making so much as a note on the american news).

Isn't that the same thing that's been going on in China for years and years?

And during all that time it's already been said that the U.S. has been somewhat hypocritical regarding its lax treatment of China considering their human rights violations.

It has indeed been going on for awhile it just seems goofy how you still have ever more horrific things such as IUDs being installed in when without their knowledge and such and yet don't get much outcry from the government in the form of change in policy. And if anything become more open towards china as they were admitted into the WTO in recent years despite having made no real concessions that many were asking for regarding human rights policy.

Walmart should take heed... for them, the overpopulation of China is basically synonymous with success in their dual goals of a) money, and b) destruction of small-town America.

This woman should have called them first, so Mr. Wal-f[b][/b]ucker could place a personal call to China and yell at them for trying to diminish their lifeblood: negligibly cheap labor.

In Russia, Abortion is still the most popular form of birth control.

Why should China be any different.

At least they're "up front" about subsugating women's rights, whereas Western employers hide behind the old boy network and force it through more subtlely.
