Circular on checking the second child trend, 1986.

In 1986, the provincial Government of Hunan issued a Circular on organizing manpower and adopting measures to check the rising trend of having an additional child. The Circular contains the following text: "Recently some localities have slackened their work on family planning (FP). The trend of having an additional child has not been properly checked .... No locality should recklessly change the FP policy. We should report to the provincial FP Commission for approval those couples who are having a second child. We must take as a longterm and important task the work of advocating one child per family. We should consolidate the one-child households so that the number of people receiving a one-child certificate will continue to increase." The Circular urges all competent departments in charge of FP to "seriously sum up their recent work and thoroughly solve the problems."

New York governor signs ban on female genital mutilation.

On September 29, 1997, mixed-record Governor George Pataki (R) signed a bill that bans female genial mutilation (FGM) from being performed on minor females and establishes a campaign to educate the communities that traditionally use FGM about the "health risks and emotional trauma inflicted by such practices." The measure, AB 3379, which is scheduled to take effect 45 days after the signing date, passed the Assembly on July 2 by 145-0 and was approved in the Senate by 55-0. AB 3379 would only allow such a procedure to be used by a licensed medical practitioner if it is "necessary to the health of the person on whom it is performed" or it is performed "for medical purposes" associated with labor or childbirth. Individuals accused of performing FGM would be charged with a class E felony, which is punishable by up to 1 year in prison.
