A woman begged the doctors at a hospital to give her a free abortion after claiming that her boyfriend abandoned her. After the doctors agreed to her requests, the woman demanded financial compensation and a baby from the female doctor-in-charge. The police removed her from the scene after she made threats, according to mainland Chinese media. 

The woman, surnamed Li, 20, said that she had previously had three abortions at the same hospital. She came begging for a fourth abortion after her boyfriend and family abandoned her on April 28, according to the Guizhou Broadcast Channel.
