BY LifeSiteNews.com UNFPA Signals Approval HUAIJI, China, Aug 7, 2001 (LSN.ca) - Communist China has ordered a small impoverished county of less than one million people to perform 20,000 abortions and sterilizations by the end of the year. The Telegraph reports that family planning officials in Guangdong ordered the abortions after census officials revealed that the average family in Huaiji has five or more children. As part of the campaign, ultrasound equipment is being purchased so unauthorized child bearing can be detected and the children aborted - forcibly if necessary. In order to pay for the machines, the county’s 15,000 employees had their meager $100/month salaries slashed in half. As part of the drive to meet the quota, doctors have been ordered to sterilize women as soon as they give birth after officially approved pregnancies. Nevertheless, Sven Burmester, the United Nations Population Fund representative in Beijing, praised China’s family planning program. “For all the bad press, China has achieved the impossible. The country has solved its population problem,” he said.
