Not really about abortion, but i didn't know where else to put it.
Few questions:

So we all know that China has a 1 child per family policy. But what woud happen if a woman naturally concieved twins, or even triplets?

After a woman has her one child, does she get her tubes tied? How does that system work?

And if two parents divorce and re-marry, can they have a child with the new husband/wife?

If a couple fall pregnant for the second time they have to pay a hefty tax to the local government. If they cannot afford the tax they will have thier posessions taken away. If they have no posessions the woman is taken away by force and forcibly aborted up to 40 weeks pregnancy.

Often women go and hide in the hills and deliver a baby and either leave it there to die or sell it.

This link suggests that they often use fertility treatment because it often gives multiple pregnancies, thus getting around the one child rule.

If You're right there is no need to shout, if you're wrong then there is little point in shouting.

For a first pregnancy i think they waive it because who knows when you are gonna have twins?

Taxing people for having more children. It don't get much more regressive than that...

When you grow up in a certain culture you perceive that as being the right culture.

In the US, we don't think of arranged marriages as being fair or good, but in other cultures, most young people prefer them.

It depends on where you grow up really, you always go with what you know. If you don't know of any other cultures or ways of doing things, then they would think that their culture is always doing the right thing.

From what the links say, even the Chinese citizens are horrified to live there.

Oh, haven't read them.

Are they talking about the majority of citizens? Or just a sample from a small exclusive area?

From all over. It's women who were even just pregnant with their first and forced into abortion.
