How the Left define "choice"

From the Associated Press via Yahoo! News...

He faced a fine of $660 to $1,330 for not having gotten a family planning permit in advance, so he treated Di to the Peking duck lunch on Aug. 15, 2000, hoping to escape with a lower fine since this was his first child....

One night, a couple of weeks before her date for giving birth, Yang's wife was dragged from her bed in a north China town and taken to a clinic, where, she says, her baby was killed by injection while still inside her.

"Several people held me down, they ripped my clothes aside and the doctor pushed a large syringe into my stomach," says Jin Yani, a shy, petite woman with a long ponytail. "It was very painful. ... It was all very rough."...

Seven years after the dead baby was pulled from her body with forceps, Jin remains traumatized and, the couple and a doctor say, unable to bear children....

A family planning official in Changli justified Jin's abortion on the grounds she lacked a birth permit. The woman, who would only give her surname, Fu, said no one in the clinic was punished for performing the procedure.

Liberals continue to defend the practice of allowing pedophiles to "safely" force their victims into abortion here in the US. Were they allowed to have their way, is there any real doubt what we see in China would not be our destiny as well?

Hear the sounds of liberal outrage? Nope, just the sounds of crickets chirping.

I think it might be hard for the liberals to be upset at what could possibly see on of the more polluted streams of consciousness I have witnessed.

China, Government Family Planning/Abortion +
Pedophiles forcing people into abortion * liberals =
US, Government Family Planning/Abortion

If I read correctly that's the formula being presented. Somehow I fail to see the connection. Now before I get blasted for pushing some liberal agenda, I am against abortion, but this is a bit of a stretch. It's yet another extremist device employed on this blog to push a particular agenda. If you want to push an agenda, I mean that's what blogs are for, but implement at least some logic.

Josh, we're just noting what actually happens. Which is that "family planning" advocacy if often just "keep the undesirables from breeding" in fancy dress. The undesirables can be ordinary Chinese citizens or they can be underage girls unfortunate enough to have fallen into the hands of sexual predators. But what they have in common is that to many in the Left, as long as no births take place, there is nothing to be outraged about.

Yes, you are noting two separate issues and using them to leverage your future predictions of "the left". I don't believe that the left is advocating that the draconian measures that the Chinese employ in population control. In fact many leftist groups including "Amnesty International" have spoken out against it and questioned holding the Olympics there because of such human rights violations.

The Chinese issues of "undesirables" deals with overpopulation issues. The attempts to gain abortion provisions for the sexually exploited stems from another justification (having to raise the offspring of an individual who violated you). I don't see the left suddenly attempting to take over and institute breeding permits as national policy. They may be leftist, but they still have to work within the confines of democracy.

Is there some specific plan of action your were attempting prompt others to with that post, or was it an attempt to structure yet another reason that conservatives should vehemently oppose the left (in this particular case due to similarities that they might kind of have with the Chinese government as it was 7 years ago).
