| Description | Two U.S. congressmen, frustrated by China's coercive abortion practices, are calling for the cancellation of 2008 Olympic games in Beijing unless the communist nation ends its state-sanctioned one-child policy.
Representatives Chris Smith (R.-N.J.) and Tom Tancredo (R.-Colo.) made the demands on China at a congressional hearing called Tuesday to shed light on the case of Mao Hengfeng, who was forced to undergo an abortion and is currently being subjected to torture. Mao's pregnancy 15 years ago violated China's family planning policy, and her protests since then landed her in one of the country's "re-education through labor" camps.
