> Journalists do tell stories, but they make sure those stories are true, verified, factual. Exactly. I heard many horrible stories about Foxconn from my friends. They should be exposed and punished. But fabrication is definitely wrong. It is especially so for a journalist reporter. For example, it is simply not true that factoreis could <b>force</b> abortions. Only the government has the authority to force abortion due to the one-child policy. Foxconn is a private factory. Pregnant women would for sure get discriminated against in Foxconn. They decide to either quit, or choose abortion to keep the job. Discrimination against pregnant women is definitely wrong. But such discrimination and forced abortion are completely two matters. As a side note, discrimination against pregnant women is a wide-spread matter in private companies in China. A good friend of mine worked in the China headquarter of one of the "big four". Her boss gave her such a hard time when my friend got pregnant and could not work 12 hours a day. My friend simply quit. She is a happy mom now.
