Another Reason to Oppose Government Controlled Medicine

A number of sources report this case of a Chinese woman forced into the abortion of her baby in the seventh month of her pregnancy.  While the Chinese government is apparently "investigating" the officials who had five men forcibly hold this 23 year old woman down to give her an injection that resulted in the birth of a dead baby two days later, it has been pointed out that the officials were simply enforcing the Chinese national policy of one child per family. 

For context, remember that Joe Biden has expressed sympathy for the Chinese one-child policy, and the president who has forced a number of health care mandates on us was once a champion of live-birth abortion.  When efforts in our country were made to reduce the horror of partial birth abortion, the party of Biden, Clinton and Obama could do nothing but spout talking points to ignore the substance of the issue.

Health care is too important to leave in the hands of power brokers with political agendas and collectivist tendencies.
