TEN teams of inspectors from the National Population and Family Planning Commission will go to 19 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions to oversee measures against forced abortion.
The teams will examine the practices of local family planning authorities in collecting fines, offering birth-control methods and servicing local migrants, today's Beijing News reported.
The move came after a woman in a rural area in northwest Shaanxi Province was forced to terminate her 7-month pregnancy because she was not eligible for having a second child.
China began to enforce the one-child policy in 1979 to curb its runaway population growth.
The online exposure of the woman's forced abortion along photos showing the dead fetus lying next to the mother on a hospital bed caused shock and widespread anger.
Seven government officials in Zhenping County were punished over the incident and two of them were sacked.
