Two threats to women's reproductive rights

In a May 6 essay (“Help blind Chinese activist”), Hannah Murphy, program director for Feminists Choosing Life, takes up a laudable cause, castigating the Chinese government for its ill-conceived policy of controlling women’s reproductive lives by imposing forced abortions. Apparently Murphy sees no irony in the fact that the main goal of her own organization is quite similar to what is going on in China, just the flip side. In China, the government forces women to have abortions they don’t want. If FCL had its way, the U.S. government would prevent women from having abortions they do want, a draconian measure which would also have dire consequences.
