Family planning slogans from a rural village in Shandong: "If it can be induced, induce it out; if it can be aborted, abort it out; it must not be born." Next to it was another slogan: "Promote one child, control two children, eliminate three children."
From a mountain village in Sichuan: "One child is allowed to be born, the second child should be sterilized, the third or fourth child - scrape! scrape! scrape!"
In Henan, there were even more extreme ones, called: "If you don't get sterilized when you should, your house will collapse; if you don't get an abortion when you should, your house will be demolished and your cattle taken away."
