China tries to put a spin on forced abortions: Go here
Chinas one child policy is really sick. Here is some of the text of the article.
“WORRIED that crude language may hamper its world image, China has banned the use of slogans like “Raise fewer babies but more piggies” to promote family planning,
The slogans are painted on walls and houses across China, but many are too coarse or even wrongly written, said the official Xinhua news agency citing a notice from the National Population and Family Planning Commission.
Others judged offensive include “Houses toppled, cows confiscated, if abortion demand rejected” and “One more baby means one more tomb”.
“Many slogans promoting the family planning policy are poorly worded, or full of strong language that leave an impression of simply forcing people to give up having more babies, causing misunderstanding on the policy and even tarnishing the image of the government,” the report added.
“If such low-quality slogans, which may cause public complaint and resentment, are not corrected and remain where they are, the country’s family planning efforts in the new era will be hindered,” it said.
The commission has come up with 190 new slogans that are judged more tasteful, such as: “The Mother Earth is too tired to sustain more children.”
Family planning rules allow most couples to have just one child. The restrictions have bolstered a traditional bias for male offspring and resulted in abortions, killings or abandonment of baby girls.”
