Death penalty for children



by Vincent @ http://www.worldmagblog.com

Wei Linrong, 34, was seven months pregnant when local officials in the Guangxi Province in southern China dragged her to a hospital, injected her abdomen with chemicals to kill her baby, and lingered to make sure that he died. Her forced abortion was one of at least 60 in the province that took place under the direction of Chinese officials in Baise City during a 24-hour period April 17-18.

One woman rounded up with Wei was nine months pregnant; another resisted as officials shoved her into a private room. WORLD's Priya Abraham reports on the grim enforcement methods behind China's one-child policy.
