China: Court Says Hospital Can’t be Forced to Freeze Eggs for Unmarried Woman

She could’ve just lost some weight and found a husband…

Imagine the nerve of this bitch, thinking she can just use courts to order people around.

China ain’t America, skank.

Chinese courts are for justice.

The Guardian:

A Chinese court has overruled a rare legal challenge brought by an unmarried Beijing woman seeking the right to freeze her eggs.

The Chaoyang intermediate people’s court in Beijing said in a judgment that the hospital did not violate the woman’s rights in denying her access to freeze her eggs.

Teresa Xu received the court judgment Friday, almost three years after she first brought the case.

In China, national law does not explicitly ban unmarried people from services like fertility treatments, and simply states that a “husband and wife” can have up to three children.

In practice, however, hospitals and other institutions implement the regulations in a way that requires people to show a marriage license. Unmarried women who choose to have children have struggled to access public benefits like maternity leave or coverage for prenatal exams.

In 2018, Xu, then 30 years old, had gone to Beijing obstetrics and gynaecology hospital at Capital Medical University, a public hospital, to ask about freezing her eggs. After an initial examination, she was told she could not proceed further because she could not show a marriage certificate. She said the doctor also urged her to have a child while she was still young.

Xu, who is unmarried, had wanted to preserve her eggs so she could have an option to bear children at a later date.

“I think this lost lawsuit, it’s not an attack on single women’s reproductive rights, maybe it’s a temporary setback,” she said in a short video statement announcing the news on her WeChat account.

Xu’s case drew broad coverage from domestic media outlets in China, including some state media outlets, when she first brought her case to court in 2019.

The hospital, according to the judgment, had argued that egg freezing poses certain health risks. But it also said that delaying pregnancy would bring about “problems” such as risks to the mother during pregnancy, and “psychological and societal problems” if there is a large age gap between parents and their child.

The hospital also said that egg-freezing services were only available to women who could not get pregnant in the natural way, and not for healthy patients.

“There will definitely be a day (when) we will take back sovereignty over our own bodies,” she said.

You have “sovereignty” over your own body, slut – it is your choice not to get pregnant. You don’t have sovereignty over the medical system, which is choosing not to store eggs for sluts who would rather go on whore adventures than have a family.

Sluttery is not illegal in China – it’s just not state-sponsored. There’s a big difference. Only the most hardcore sluts are going to go full slut if they don’t have the backing of the state.

The reason the Chinese courts are able to tell sluts to shut it is because the Chinese people believe sluts should shut it.

It’s just like when a Chinese city revolted when they tried to make a vax required for going to the cinema.

China has a government that dominates society in a way that I don’t think we want in the Western world, but the reason the people tolerate it is because it represents the majority population – bizarrely, in the same way that “democracy” claims to represent the majority population.

Regardless of the size of a government, it has to represent the majority population.
