Abortion Becomes Childbearing: The CCP's Dark Hand Reaches Out to Chinese Women

[People News] When the CCP suddenly realised that China's population was experiencing a significant decline, it abruptly ended the decades-long one-child policy, allowing couples to have two children. Shortly thereafter, slogans advocating for the possibility of having three children began to emerge. While Chinese netizens were shocked, they also engaged in heated discussions online, criticising the over thirty-year-long one-child policy, which led to the deaths of hundreds of millions of unborn fetuses and caused lasting harm to countless families. A saying circulated online at that time: "It's so sad, really so sad. Women's wombs and bodies are treated as tools; they are expected to give birth when needed, and when not needed, they are fitted with IUDs. It makes me feel nauseous." Women on Weibo expressed concerns that after the policy change to allow three children, the pressure to have children from friends and family would increase, and their wombs would no longer belong to them.

Unexpectedly, such worries have indeed materialised in a dictatorial communist country. Recently, local health departments in several provinces and cities began registering the menstrual dates of women of childbearing age, provoking public resentment. Experts analyse that the CCP is deeply mired in a population crisis, with various social problems stemming from population control violence erupting, which will impact the CCP's regime.

Unmarried and unattached young women are not spared.

According to reports from Dajiyuan, a village in Xuanwei, Yunnan, has requested all mothers in a WeChat group to report the date of their last menstrual period. They are instructed to send this information in the format of 'name + last menstrual period date + phone number', and those living elsewhere must also indicate their location. It has been stated that 'everyone must report their last menstrual period'.

The local health bureau clarified that this initiative is part of 'pregnancy screening efforts to identify pregnant women as early as possible, thereby facilitating the provision of basic public health services'. Furthermore, even unmarried young women are included in this data collection.

One young woman recounted to reporters, 'I am not married yet, and last year, someone from the village's Women's Federation called me to ask about my menstrual dates and even inquired when I plan to get pregnant. I believe that women in their 20s are being asked; the date of the last day of menstruation must be reported, but I chose to ignore it. This is absurd; it might be due to the low birth rate, and they are desperate. My colleagues from their village are experiencing the same situation.'

The news has ignited intense discussions online, with netizens commenting, 'I've seen it all in my lifetime, and it finally happened.' 'They must be going crazy trying to boost the birth rate!' 'Now we have menstrual police.' 'Files on gambling and drugs need to be hidden, but women's menstrual periods must be reported—how ridiculous!' 'This is too absurd! Will they call next time to inform you when your ovulation period is, urging you to have intercourse and report back in the group the next day? Is a woman's uterus no longer considered private?'

The push for pro-natalist policies starkly reveals the CCP's evil and violent nature, as it fails to regard the common people as human beings. (Internet image)

Some commentary articles argue that certain types of national policies are rigid and inhumane. This is reminiscent of Romania in 1966, where measures were taken to enforce childbirth and address the country's declining population. These measures included nationwide gynaecological examinations, a ban on abortion, the imposition of a childbirth tax, and the establishment of 'menstrual police' positions to register menstrual cycles and monitor couples' efforts to conceive.

Notably, the issue of tracking women's 'last menstruation' is not confined to Yunnan; netizens from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, and other regions have also confirmed to Dajiyuan that they were required to report their menstruation dates, including unmarried and unattached female college students.

A female college student from Zhejiang remarked, 'Our school also has to report the menstruation dates from the previous month every month; I have no idea what they intend to do with this information.'

The Chinese Communist Party views women's bodies as tools.

Prominent human rights activist Chen Guangcheng stated in an interview with Dajiyuan that China has seen fewer than ten million newborns for three consecutive years, and in the past five to six years, the population has been declining at a rate of nearly 18%. The population crisis resulting from the Communist Party's violent family planning and killing policies is becoming increasingly apparent. With the marriage rate stagnating, discussions about the birth rate are futile, and maintaining the ecological balance of society is impossible.

Chen Guangcheng argues, "Back then, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) forced people to pay social maintenance fees; does it now have the right to demand that people have more children for society?" The public's reflection on the CCP's invasion of privacy from the standpoint of their own rights is a sign of progress, yet in reality, such invasions of privacy have never stopped. In the past, women of childbearing age were mandated to undergo so-called "station inspections" every three months, and regardless of their work locations, they were required to return to confirm they were not pregnant. If they were found to be pregnant, they would be forcibly taken away for violent abortions. Isn't this also an invasion of privacy?

The CCP has enforced its birth policy for over thirty years, with official claims indicating that approximately 400 million people were not born. (Internet image)

Recently, scholars from the School of Public Health at Peking University published a paper in the "Chinese Medical Journal (English Edition)" stating that a study involving over 500,000 Chinese individuals tracked for up to 12 years found a U-shaped relationship between the number of children women have and their risk of death, with the lowest risk occurring when having 3 to 4 children.

Netizens have expressed strong scepticism regarding this claim. They believe that the authorities, in their push to promote childbirth, have resorted to unscrupulous tactics, labelling it as pure "deception for life." "How many people can still be found to participate in such experiments now? If it was tracked for 12 years, that was still during the one-child policy; how many families had 3 to 4 children?" "Back then, they only allowed one child; was it because they wanted people to live longer?" "Now, not having children leads to the longest life! Having any children shortens your lifespan." "If this research result were announced during the one-child policy, I would admire Peking University."

Chen Guangcheng remarked that experts once advised, 'For women's health, have fewer children,' and 'Women should not have children before the age of 23,' among other statements. Now, however, these views have completely reversed, ridiculing the public under the guise of science.

Chen Guangcheng believes that the alarmingly low birth rate has genuinely caused concern within the Communist Party. 'In reality, how many people are there in China? Very few know the true number. If one day a significant data leak were to occur, the Communist Party would be extremely anxious. The social issues stemming from the violent enforcement of population control have evolved beyond mere demographic concerns; the collective eruption of various social problems could have an unimaginable impact on the Communist regime.'

The Communist Party blatantly oppresses the people.

Recently, an astonishing slogan has gained traction online, declaring that in a certain village in mainland China, 'one person refuses to have more children, the whole village undergoes artificial insemination.' This sharply contrasts with the slogan that was prevalent during the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) one-child policy, which lasted over thirty years: 'one person over-reproduces, the whole village gets sterilised.' Internet users have been juxtaposing slogans from the family planning era that enforced abortions with images promoting the current push for increased births, clearly demonstrating that these slogans, which convey opposite meanings, reveal the CCP's malevolent nature of never treating the Chinese populace as human beings. For instance: 'Abort it! Miscarry it! Let it flow! Just cannot give birth!' 'Get pregnant, give birth, raise it, just cannot abort it,' 'Better to have rivers of blood than to allow one more birth!' 'Boys or girls are the same; otherwise, sons won't have partners,' 'Today, if you evade family planning policies and go out, tomorrow you will return home to find all your property gone,' 'To get rich, to prosper, have fewer children and raise more pigs,' 'If you should give birth but don’t, you will regret it for life. If you should raise but don’t, you will have no one to care for you in old age. If you should abort but don’t, you will be dragged into the house and tied to the ox. 'If rural areas want to get rich, having more children can help plant trees.'

Whether it was the past strict prohibition on over-reproduction or the current encouragement of increased births, all these slogans vividly highlight the CCP's ruthless and cold-hearted exploitation of the people. In the eyes of the CCP, the bodies of Chinese women are merely tools that can be utilised at any time to sustain the CCP's rule. As long as the CCP remains in power, the Chinese populace will have no human rights and no freedom. △
