I. The problem is those women are being denied the right to have a second child, by making them undergo different types of lethal procedure.
A. Because of this policy, women have to go through: abortions, jail time, labor camps.
B. If the woman somehow does get by and have a baby and it is a girl, they usually abandon the girl leaving her to die on the streets.
a. Statistics: according to a news article written in 2001 on news.bbc.co.uk, every year, perhaps a million girl fetuses are aborted and tens of thousands of girl babies are abandoned.
b. Examples: abortions, jail, labor camps, death. The drug named rivanol is the most common drug that is used to kill these babies.
c. Expert Testimony: at a 1995 United Nation conference on Woman, former Secretary of State, stated that “It is a violation of human rights when women are denied the right to plan their own families, and that includes being forced to have abortions or being sterilized against their will.”
