“Some 30 years after China decreed a general limit of one child per family, resentment still brews over the state’s regular and sometimes brutal intrusion into intimate family matters. Not only are many second pregnancies aborted, but even to have one’s first child requires a license.”
 
If this seems ‘far from home’ for some, consider that Saipan is part of a US protectorate. Goods made there can be stamped “Made in America”.

There are 11,000+ Chinese garment workers living there in guarded camps. Numerous human rights groups have pointed out the widespread practice of forced abortions in them.

One chilling quote, in an interview by ABC News, human rights worker Eric Gregoire said, “With 11,000 Chinese workers here, I have never seen a Chinese garment factory worker have a baby.”

Some Catholics are loathe to discuss this because Saipan ties to some highly political corruption scandals here in the US. But I really think this is a case where all of us must put our faith ahead of any political allegience.

Best Regards
