A little cleaer...

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Why? I'll tell you why... Ben in BOLD":

Because China has a coercive, sometimes murderous policy of forced abortion.

Apparently, you're intellectually unable to distinguish between the reasons behind a policy (in this case China's 'one child' policy) -- which is what was asked about -- and one possible means of enforcing that policy. And yet you are a "SENIOR FELLOW, AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE". Go figure.

Ben's response:

China's one-child policy was based on back-assward addle-brained Malthusian policy which passed by the boards when not only Thomas Malthus, but even the fruit fly biologist Paul Ehrlich himself recanted.

The means of enforcing such a policy come from the barrel of a gun in an authoritarian land laying down harsh law and intruding on the most intimate of human decisions through despicable means: Mama patrols checking menstraul period records, informers, bribed bureaucrats.

The ChiComs seem to be getting a bit better. How long this lasts after the 2000 Olympics remains to be seen.
