Female Judge Ridicules Chinese Asylum Seeker For Crying Over Forced Abortion And Slugger O’Toole Blogger Discusses “Suicide by Birth”

September 21, 2007 · 2 Comments

It is shocking to hear, but it is reported that an American female judge actually ridiculed a Chinese man who was seeking asylum from China because he cried when recalling how his wife was subjected to a forced abortion of her second child. The judge was apparently annoyed at the mans show of emotion and called him to order for his conduct.

Thankfully this judge was removed from the case and a later court reversed her refusal to grant asylum.

The full story can be seen here. (Click Here)

It strikes me that this woman was annoyed because “abortion” is not supposed to upset anyone, in other words the man’s emotion at the death of his child and the torture his wife suffered challenged the politically correct attitude that abortion is not a crime against humanity. So what if you are forced into it…….. Whats the big deal?

The first time I came across this attitude was quite recently on the blog “Slugger OToole“.

One of the regular posters on Slugger supports forced abortion and isn’t ashamed to say so, despite the fact that this is quite clearly illegal in this state and abhorant to most people. Here’s what this forced abortion supporter had to say:

“As to forced abortions? Well, same as I said with the blood transfusions for Jehovah witnesses, or fanatics that believe prayer cures illness. There are times when it may be seen to be cruel to force treatment, but if there is a lack of capacity or other circumstances and a clear risk to the life of the mother, well yes, the foetus gets aborted.

Like ..So what???

And if you are consoling yourself by imagining that this person is just an inconsequential nutter I have worse news, the blogger states the following about themselves:

“You’re right about my CV. I nursed in Ireland and many states on the East Coast and south of America. I also nursed in Ireland before becoming involved in social services and the voluntary sector. I still work in that sector, but lecture in social science. “

EEEEEK!

If you read the thread through on Slugger (from the bottom of the first page to the bottom of the second page) you will find that this person has ziltch knowledge of the law and a very unhealthy interest in promoting abortion.

See for an example the wonderfull statement:

“..as the law stands, and as the guidelines make clear, her wish to commit ‘suicide by birth’ can indeed by over ridden.”

Dont send your daughter to university Mrs McGrath, especially if she’s thinking of doing Social Science………

    I have a question regarding the law surrounding Chinese nationals seeking asylum abroad due to fear of (or actually subjection to) forced abortion or sterilization in China. Apparently, they can successfully apply for asylum in the US on these grounds. What about other countries? Anyone familiar with the law on that issue?

    I know that it may well be a mitigating circumstance for an asylum seker in the North of Ireland and probably the Republic also. Usually in these cases, because there are political ramifications for those who seek to escape the one child policy the asylum case may well rest on other factors apart from the actual abortion issue.

    However I havent any specific practice in that field, so would have to check up.
