AUSTRALIA, Aug. 5 (LSN) - China still requires women with more than one child to kill subsequent babies under its Planned Parenthood supported one-child policy, Australian politicians were told this week. The Australian Senate is continuing to look into allegations that a woman was forcibly aborted after being deported from the country several months ago. Australian officials who thought they could trust their communist Chinese counterparts accepted assurances that the woman would be safe if sent back. The Senate committee is also looking into allegations that the terrified woman was drugged in Australia before being put on the plane which took her back to China, reported AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE yesterday.

The testimony confirming China's on-going forced abortion policy came from a doctor who gave her name as Wong. The Chinese medic, who said she left the country after the Tiananmen Square massacre, told the Senate committee that she had been required to perform abortions and that they were done even as late as 7.5 months into a pregnancy. She produced a photograph of a 6.5 month aborted foetus as evidence of her story. "It is really hard. You see the screaming. You see them being dragged. You do not feel as if they are human beings. I just do not know what they are. Maybe I think I am not human too," she said. Zhu Qing Ping was 8.5 months pregnant when she was deported from Australia and apparently aborted.
