Saw this on vip.bokee.com–it says that unmarried women in Guangdong are not allowed to receive artificial insemination because the right to be a mother is tied to wedlock. Another factoid worth noting: in the ten years that they’ve been doing reproductive planning Guangdong province has “saved itself” an estimated 40 million people. That’s pretty darn amazing if you think about it, and regardless of whether or not you agree with the politics or ethics behind it. The numbers are just impressive, in the way that numbers from China are always kinda impressive or astounding.
