So, no matter what government says, some people are going to terminate pregnancies. I remember when young women were doing it with hangers --often terminating their own lives as well. Every religion allows for free will -- if someone makes a poor choice, he or she can answer to God -- he did not appoint any of us to interfere with individual choices -- "judgment is mine, saith the Lord"

China mandated a one child family policy. The Cadres (govenor/mayor) in each province have historically been measured by his boss for promotion or pay increase, on how closely his province adhered to this policy. It is therefore more often than not, that these Cadres take matters into their own hands to insure that the policy is taken seriously one way or the other. While the Chinese goverrnment does not condone this, it has certainly turned a blind eye
As far as people terminating the lives of their own unborn children, that is still murder and we live in a moral society who should hold these people accountable. Roe v Wade needs to be overturned as it is an errant law.
