Chinese parents are permitted only one child, and they face mandatory abortion if a second child is conceived. Does its official atheism (viewing religion as the opiate of the people) have any bearing on China’s denial of the parents’ reproductive rights and the the right to life of the unborn child?

It’s reflective of the huge overpopulation problem in China. Is America’s death penalty policy consistent with their lack of compassion for humanity?
Actually, they do not face mandatory abortion. They are merely fined for additional children.
No. Its official overpopulation of over a billion people has a bearing.
**The Chinese are actually quite religious as a people. The state is not ‘communist’ by any definition of the word.
I think it’s because of over population and then communism.
it is a human right violation in my book. Education and birth control should be enforced, not baby killing.
I don’t think it has anything to do with atheism but population control.
Hey, why aren’t the so-called pro-lifers up in arms about coerced abortions and female infanticide in China?
Although I don’t agree that you should force abortions (which i’m not sure if they do, i’ll look it up), I do think that keeping population levels at a reasonable level due to scarce resources is vital to the welfare for the rest of the population… china adopted strict taxes for those who concieve more than the average family
besides, i don’t agree that everyone has the right to reproduce, i’m sorry if that offends people, but come on, Society pays for deadbeat parents who cann’t afford to raise a child. Love goes so far, money is still needed.
Its official atheism is a result of it’s communist themes of state-worship. There’s no room for religion when you must devote yourself to the single party.
No. Abortion has nothing to do with atheism. There can be atheists who are anti-abortion.
China does not have a “mandatory abortion policy”. Couples petition the government to have more then one child and it is sometimes granted. It a couple gets turned down, and gets pregnant with a second child, then they can either get an abortion, or face the possibility of losing their job & government assistance (paid schooling & college) for their first child, or pay a large fine. Besides, that is not in the whole of China, it is only in the large cities and has nothing to do with atheism and all to do with population control.
Do you ever actually research what you type or do you just regurgitate someone else’s ignorance?
This is total BULLSH!T
I live in china and many people have here more then 2 kids, they face problems yes, but nobody gets forced to abort. Total stupid propaganda
(Im not chinese, im german living since 4 years in china)
It probably has a lot more to do with the fact that they can’t produce enough food to feed any more children!
Nope. The word is just about not believing in deities. It refers to religion, not government or laws/rules.
For a start, the question grossly over-simplifies the one child policy. There are many exceptions. Ethnic minorities are exempt; peasants (70% of the population) can have more than one child; two single children who marry can have more than one….
Mandatory abortions are not so common as the propagandists make out. Usually, a fine is paid.
The policy is nothing to do with atheism, but a practical (and largely successful) response to a real population problem.
It has more to do with living. Only so many fish fit in the aquarium. As there is only so much food. Adding more fish means others starve some, adding more mean others starve and die. The rights to life are foremost given to the parents. The rights of the unborn is secondary.
If your parents did not have the right to life, you would not exist. Period.
If your parents “had you” but could not feed you, again you would not exist.(for long)
If your parents “had you” but had no way to clothe you or shelter you, again you would not exist.(for long)
That is how crowded it is in China.
Has nothing to do with atheism. Has more to do with survival of the group.
After all “there would be no human rights issue if all the humans are dead”, would there?
Lemmings do this every number of years because their population grows to a point where they exceed the food source. So there is a mass migration of the majority(I have no numbers here – look up lemmings) to the cliffs where the lemmings throw themselves off into the raging seas and drown, so that the rest may live.
They are sensible.
Some other species of mammals, such a penguins(I think) can hold off on completing the reproductive cycle during times of overpopulation which could lead to mass starvation. Rabbits can do it too(I think) but it is hard to tell.
Man does not have that sensibility.(reasoning that if there are too many people here, we will ship them to a space station or on the moon or Mars.
Highly illogical.
Yes, it’s very consistent with its official atheism, as is their persecution of practitioners of various faiths, imprisoning and sentencing to labor camps those who belong to faiths that do not support their communist regime.
Here in the US, the women who are forced to have an abortion are given political asylum. There are still debates raging about whether their husbands should be extended the same courtesy. A very recent case is in the news about this. Both parents should gain political asylum, because children need both their father and their mother.
For those who say that forced abortion doesn’t happen in China, I suggest that they see this story: http://www.lifenews.com/int1298.html
China keeps its citizens from knowing much of what actually goes on. There are many in China who have family members who were taken away for being part of one faith or another, or for some other infraction. I have a classmate who is from China. Her parents and aunt were taken away by the government for being practitioners of Falun Gong. Her father was released becasue he is not a practitioner. Her aunt was sentenced to hard labor. The current whereabouts and fate of her mother is still unknown because the state will not tell family members, so she has been sending all of her money that she can home to help hire a lawyer.
Even pictures of Tianemem Square are still forbidden in China.
For those who ask why the pro-lifers aren’t up in arms? We are! We’re absolutely horrified by the way China treats its citizens, by the female inficide and the sex-selective abortions that their system encourages, something that has not helped their overpopulation problems. In fact, China is now looking at a severe inbalance in their population, with far more males than females, and far more elderly who cannot work than young who can.
Unfortunately, any time anyone attempts to do anything about it, they are arrested and sent to hard labor camps for “crimes against the government.” The Chinese government is very good at these human rights violations.
China’s mandatory on abortion does not have to do with atheism but
with their way of control because of economical reasons. I don’t think that if you are an atheist you have to be in favor of abortion. Abortion goes against life itself even if one does not believe in God.
Any Mandatory Abortion is Against God`s Laws
Official Abortion Policy
forced abortions and involuntary sterilization of women under Communist China’s one-couple, one-child policy are China Offical Atheist views of Right to Life Reproductions Rights ( State decides)
from Population Growth and discard of Religon.
No Although China may share the Marx Ideas it is the Population growth of China that is causing the Govenment to put these laws into and atheism as they are not Trying to find other alternatives
