title: Circular on family planning, 11 July 1987.
abstract: This Circular on family planning is summarized as follows: "The circular points out that recently there have been successive cases of hampering and sabotaging family planning work in various parts of the province. Family planning work personnel have been beaten up and abused in revenge, and there have been instances of illegally removing intra-uterine devices, obtaining money by deceit, and harming women mentally and physically. These have hampered the smooth progress of family planning. To protect the enthusiasm of the family planning personnel and ensure the smooth progress of family planning in Guizhou, the Circular demands that the public security organs at all levels fully play their part in cracking down on crime and serving the four modernizations. They must provide full support for the family planning departments in carrying out their work in a normal fashion, and protect and support the cadres and masses in the frontline of family planning work. In cases of threatening, beating up, and taking violent revenge against family planning personnel, the public security organs must work with the departments concerned to investigate and deal with the matter promptly. Cases of illegal removal of an intra-uterine device, obtaining money by deceit, abusing women, and other instances of sabotage of family planning must be promptly investigated and dealt with according to law."
