No good choices in China by Sobran
Joseph Sobran argues that President Clinton avoided strong human rights assertions in China and critiques the inconsistent stance of pro choice advocates. He notes China’s forced abortion policy and sex ratio imbalance, urging that reproductive rights include the right to have children. He questions liberal feminism’s silence on China and links abortion advocacy to interpretation of rights. Sobran lives in Arlington, Virginia.
