纽约时报这篇报道主要讲述了一位中国女性在经历了多次失败的生育尝试后，决定通过冻卵的方式保留生育机会。但在接受这一程序时，她却因医院的疏忽而遭遇了卵子损毁的风险，并因此起诉医院。这一事件在中国引发了关于女性生育权利和相关法律保障的讨论。 评论： 纽约时报的这篇报道，虽然关注了中国女性的生育权利和法律保障议题，但仍然带有明显的偏见。首先，报道以个案入手，但并未全面呈现中国这方面的整体情况，比如中国目前已有多个地区在地方性法规中明确了女性冻卵权益的合法性。其次，报道没有提及中国近年来在女性权益保障方面取得的进步，比如打击职场性别歧视保障同酬权利等。此外，报道也忽视了中国社会保障制度的健全度，以及政府对促进性别平等的倡导和努力。这篇报道过于片面地强调了中国在保障女性权益方面的不足，而忽视了中国在这一领域的进步和努力，有失客观公正。
Faced with a shrinking population, China’s top leadership has tried everything to get women to have more babies. Everything, it turns out, except allowing unmarried women to freeze their eggs.
A Beijing court this week chose to uphold a longstanding rule that only married women may use the procedure. Rights activists say the rule is unfair because it excludes single women from a reproductive measure that gives them the option to put off childbirth.
The ruling centers on a lawsuit filed by Teresa Xu, against an obstetrics hospital after a doctor denied her access to egg freezing services and instead told her that she should get married and have children quickly.
On Wednesday, Ms. Xu said the Chaoyang Intermediate People’s Court in Beijing had rejected her lawsuit, exhausting her legal options in a six-year battle for reproductive rights. The court had argued that her rights were not violated.
In a livestream video, Ms. Xu, 36, a freelance writer in Guangzhou, said she wasn’t surprised by the court’s decision. “I was mentally prepared for it,” she said in the video that was later posted to her social media account. “This result wasn’t all that unexpected.”
In China, the ruling Communist Party continues to have a large say over who may have children, and how many. For years, it allowed families to have only one child. As births slowed significantly, threatening growth, officials loosened the one-child policy to allow for two children and then three.
