Harrowing details have emerged in recent news reports of alleged forced abortions in China's impoverished Guangxi province. Earlier this month as many as 61 pregnant women were injected with an abortive drug after being dragged to local hospitals, according to media accounts. Human rights activists say actions allegedly carried out by family planning officials there are unlikely to be isolated. Along with forced sterilization and other coercive methods of birth control, forced abortion continues to be practiced occasionally by officials in remote parts of China despite its having been banned by the central government in Beijing...

Michels is currently working on another study focusing on women in the Canadian province of Manitoba. She said she chose Manitoba because all induced abortions are included in patients’ medical records, meaning she does...
...moderator Brian Williams brought up his well-deserved reputation for talking too much and committing gaffes. "Can you reassure voters in this country that you would have the discipline you would need on the world stage, Senator?" Williams asked. Biden's answer: "Yes." Which was followed by a long, pregnant silence...
