According to a report by the China-based human rights organization 64Tianwang, the woman, Feng Jianmei, was beaten and dragged into a vehicle by a group of Family Planning Officials while her husband, Deng Jiyuan, was out working. The officials asked for RMB 40,000 in fines from Feng Jianmei’s family. When they did not receive the money, they forcibly aborted Feng at seven months, laying the body of her aborted baby next to her in the bed. Feng is under medical treatment in Ankang City, Zhenpin County, Zengjia Town, Yupin village.

Due to the widespread revulsion engendered by this action it was reported on Saturday June 18th that
China suspended three officials and apologised to Feng Jianmei after the photos of Feng lying on a hospital bed with her aborted,
blood-covered baby,
were posted online and went viral
The moves appeared to be aimed at allaying public anger over
a case that has triggered renewed criticism of China's widely hated one-child
limit.
Reggie Littlejohn, president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers,
stated, “This is an outrage. No legitimate government would commit or
tolerate such an act. Those who are responsible should be prosecuted
for crimes against humanity. WRWF calls on the United States government
and the leaders of the free world to strongly condemn forced abortion
and all coercive family planning in China.”
