Sotomayor Voted to OK Asylum for Spouses of Chinese Women Forced to Abort

Judge Sotomayor's opinion in an immigration asylum case made it appear she understood the problems of people who face persecution in China's brutal population control regime that uses forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations to punish offenders of its one-child policy. “The termination of a wanted pregnancy under a coercive population control program can only be devastating to any couple, akin, no doubt, to the killing of a child,” she wrote. "The harm is clearly directed at the couple [not just the woman] who dared to continue an unauthorized pregnancy in hopes of enlarging the family unit." LifeNews
