SAN FRANCISCO, September 2, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Federal Appeals Court ruled unanimously Friday to grant political asylum to a Chinese woman who was forced to undergo two abortions in China. With its ruling the court overturned a denial of asylum by the Board of Immigration Appeals. The Washington Times reports that congressional testimony has shown that since the enforcement of China’s one child policy in 1981, numerous women have faced coercive abortion, sterilization or IUD insertions. A 1996 law grants refugee status to 1,000 people annually if their country imposed them with forced population control.
