Chinese today are free to choose where they live and work and who they want to marry, but when it comes to having kids, the state says the majority must stop at one. Seven months pregnant, Wu sneaked out early in the morning carrying a shoulder bag with some clothes, her laptop and a knife. 'It's good for me I wasn't caught, but it's lucky for them too,' said Wu, 35, who feared that family planning officials were going to drag her to the hospital for a forced abortion. 'I was going to fight to the death if they found me.' With her escape, she joined an increasingly defiant community of parents in China who have risked their jobs, savings and physical safety to have a forbidden second child. (AP Photo/Alexander F.
