Forced abortions spark riots in China

So-called “population crackdowns” are ocurring in China. The government is imposing a social child-raising tax on anyone who gets pregnant without permission from the government and refuses to have an abortion. If they refuse to pay the tax, the government destroys the villagers’ property. In response, villagers are rioting.

Compare this willingness to sacrifice property for the sake of having a child with American priorities and parenting, especially the gleeful willingness to abort an inconvenient pregnancy.
