"Mr President, China’s one-child policy has once again shown how cruel it is. A woman who was seven months pregnant was forced to have an abortion because the couple expecting the child already had a child, and they could not afford to pay the fine imposed for an additional one.
China’s one-child policy, which deeply offends human rights, and the rights of women in particular, prescribes that families in cities can have one child, and families in rural areas two, if the firstborn is a girl. This has also led to selective abortions undertaken on the grounds of gender, with millions of babies being aborted simply because they are girls. This has led, and will lead, to an ever worsening democratic problem in China, because 40 million women will be missing from society, as Ms Schaake said here.
I would hope that this debate will remain a respectful one and that we understand that the first right of every human being is the right to be born into this world"@en1
