€9,100 settlement agreed in China forced-abortion case

The Chinese government has agreed to a cash settlement with the family of a woman who was forced to undergo an abortion because they could not afford a fine for having a second child under the country’s tough one-child policy.

Feng Jianmei was forced to abort her baby seven months into her pregnancy because she did not have 40,000 yuan (€5,150) to pay the fine.
