The story: A young provincial couple was unable to pay the $6,500 fine to permit it to have a second child. The seven-month pregnant wife was dragged off to a hospital, where she was given an injection of poison to kill her baby and induce an abortion.
The outcry over this photograph has caused Chinese authorities to discipline the local officials who carried out the forced abortion.

Interesting, eh?
Yeah, confiscate the photo and punish those who allowed it. Totalitarian regimes, ain't they a killer?!
And people want to play nice with commies...
