'If I have one child it will be raised better. It will have more opportunities, and my career is the most important thing. I really want to excel at it.' Lu Zhufeng, a twenty year old medical student. 1970's

'Vigilantes abduct pregnant women on the streets and haul them off, sometimes handcuffed or trussed, to abortion clinics. (Some) aborted babies cry when they are born.' Steven Mosher, author of 'Broken Earth' which introduced the west to the One-Child Policy. 1980
