【新唐人2014年12月10日訊】12月8號，中國大陸一萬多名各界人士，聯名致信中共人大及國務院法制辦，呼籲取消社會撫養費，也就是計劃生育罰款。分析指出，生育是人類最基本的權利，加上社會撫養費去向不明，應該停止徵收。
建議信起草人之一、廣東涉外經濟職業技術學院教師李潤發，8號向《第一財經日報》證實，他們已將聯名信及一本厚達834頁的聯署人留言簿，寄往人大及國務院法制辦。
李潤發表示，建議信在計生QQ群和各大論壇發出後，很快就徵集到超過一萬人的聯合署名。建議人來自各行各業，包括教師、公務員、工程師、醫生、律師、工人、個體經營者、企業經理等。
據《第一財經日報》報導，中共國務院法制辦11月20號公布《社會撫養費徵收管理條例（送審稿）》，徵求各界意見，引發社會各界關於撫養費的存廢之爭。人口學者黃文政和梁建章聯名發表文章，建議暫停徵收社會撫養費，惠州市旅遊局局長黃細花等6名人大代表，也向全國人大建議取消徵收社會撫養費。
東南大學法學教授張讚寧：「我認為這個要求是非常合理的，因為生育是人類的最基本的權利，全世界都是妳生孩子，除了家庭要撫養孩子以外，社會還要承擔一點責任來撫養這個孩子。現在中國是相反，你要是超生了，就要反過來向社會繳撫養費，這是不合理的。」
參與聯名書的民間公益活動人士韓呈祥向《自由亞洲電臺》表示，徵收社會撫養費政策，是基於把孩子當作社會負擔這種理論基礎上。如今，人口經濟學家已經證明，人口不是經濟負擔，而是經濟財富的創造者。
據了解，大陸每年各地的社會撫養費徵收規模超過200億元，社會撫養費的徵收是否合理以及去向，一直備受社會關注和質疑。
張讚寧：「從以往所繳的撫養費來看，信息不透明，這個社會撫養費究竟撫養了誰，現在有資料表明，其中有一部分就給了計生委的工作人員，發了獎金，發了補助等等，給他們發了福利，該撫養的人沒有得到撫養，所以這個撫養費必須取消。」
面對社會的取消呼籲，12月2號，中共衛計委卻表示，社會撫養費不會取消，還聲稱如果取消，對遵守計劃生育政策的群眾並不公平。
張讚寧：「這個講法是沒有道理的，你不管遵守還是不遵守，他的公民權利在社會上是平等的，再一個，我受到不公平的待遇，其他人也應當受到不公平待遇，才算是公正的，有這個道理嗎？這是非常荒謬的。」
8號，《新華網》發表評論文章，指全中國累計徵收的社會撫養費超過1.5萬億元，但去向不明。儘管中共衛計委明確回應不會取消徵收，但有關爭議依然激烈。《新華網》還說，揭開面紗，公開透明，是取信於民的關鍵。
但河南維權人士張海濤認為，一黨專政下，不可能做到公開透明。
河南維權人士張海濤：「中共計劃生育政策，本來就是侵犯人權，沒有人性的，它實行30多年來，已經豢養了一批靠計劃生育來剝削其他人（的人），社會撫養費每年徵收幾百億，它加重了許多民眾家庭的負擔，並且它徵收的幾百億，並沒有用到社會民生方面，所以現在越來越多的人要求取消社會撫養費。」
無錫居民、計劃生育受害人王彩霞指出，計生政策暗含了有錢便能超生的現實。
無錫居民王彩霞：「這個社會撫養費肯定是不對的，有錢的，有明星甚麼的，他們都可以生幾胎，老百姓不能生，肯定是不對的。在中國，體制問題造成了許多的不公，像我給他們致殘了，他們還做了很多的假證，來打壓你，中國老百姓真的沒辦法。」
社會撫養費的存廢，在網絡上也引發熱烈討論。有網友說，用錢來買「生育權」，太無恥。也有網友說，從出生那天起，就和各種去向成謎、徵收合法性存疑的行政收費打上交道了。

Thousands of People Petition to Cancel Family Planning Fine
A joint letter of more than 10,000 Chinese calling for an end
to the family planning fine, called the social maintenance fee,
was addressed to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and
Legislative Affairs Office (LAO) of the State Council on Dec. 8.
In addition to the large sum of the fine, which has been
unaccounted for, it is considered that fertility is a basic human
right, so the regulation should be abolished.
Guangdong International Economics College teacher Li Runfa
is one of the initiators of the letter.
He told China Business News, or yicai, that a joint letter and
a 834-page signers book have been delivered to the NPC
and LAO of the State Council.
Li Runfa said, once the proposal was issued to various
online chat rooms, more than 10,000 people quickly
responded to the petition.
There are people from all walks of life such as teachers,
civil servants, engineers, doctors, lawyers, workers,
self-employed, business manager and so forth.
Yicai reported the argument was brought about due to a
Nov. 20 release of LAO soliciting ideas on regulating
the family planning fine.
Demographers Huang Wenzheng and Liang Jianzhang
coauthored a proposal to suspend the fine collection.
Six NPC members such as Huizhou City Tourism Bureau Director,
Huang Xihua, also recommended the regulation be abolished.
Southeastern University Law Professor Zhang Zanning:
“I think this is a very reasonable request.
Fertility is the most basic human right.
Everywhere in the world except for China, the family and
society are responsible for raising the child.
In China, it is the contrary.
Extra births will result in a maintenance fee to society.
It is unreasonable."
Activist Han Chengxiang told Radio Free Asia that collection
of social maintenance fee was based on the view of the child
as a societal burden.
But, economics of population has demonstrated, rather than
an economic burden, population is the wealth creator.
Reportedly, more than 20 billion yuan of family planning fines
are collected annually.
For years, the rationale and the usage of the fine has been
a subject of concern and doubt.
Zhang Zanning: “Based on the money collected previously,
the opaque system has been questioned as to who have
benefitted by the regulation.
Data showed some of the money has become a bonus and
subsidy for the workers at the Family Planning Commission.
Those who were supposed to be raised by the fee
did not get the benefit.
This fine collection must be terminated."
Faced with social appeal, the National Health and Family
Planning Commission responded on Dec. 2 that the social
maintenance fee will not be canceled.
It claimed the cancellation will only be unfair to those who
abide by the child birth policy.
Zhang Zanning: “This argument is not justified. Whether or not
a policy is followed, the citizen’s rights should be equal.
In fact, it does not make sense.
If I was treated unfairly, someone else should be treated unfairly,
so that is just? This is ridiculous."
A Xinhua column indicated that the family planning fine
has accumulated more than 1.5 trillion yuan,
but is unaccounted for.
Despite Health and Family declared the fee will not be
abolished, the argument remains fierce.
Xinhua stated: Unveil the secret, keep it open and transparent,
it is the key to win trust.
But Henan activist Zhang Haitao does not believe there is
openness and transparency under a one-party dictatorship.
Zhang Haitao: “Communist family planning policy has
always been a violation of human rights. It is inhumane.
This policy has been going on for more than 30 years.
It has bred a bunch of people exploiting others
by manipulating the family planning policy.
This social maintenance fee collected tens of billions of yuan
a year. It is a severe burden to many families.
The money collected was not used in improving livelihood.
Therefore, more and more people demand the cancellation
of the social maintenance fee."
Wuxi resident Wang Caixia is a victim of the CCP family
planning policy.
She says that the reality of family planning policy is that
money allowed wealthy people to give extra births.
Wang Caixia: “The family planning fine is certainly wrong.
Those who are rich such as the movie stars, they can give
extra births, but ordinary people can’t. It is definitely wrong.
The institutional issues have created many injustices
in China today.
I became a handicap because of the policy. They even made up
false evidence to suppress the injustice.
We can’t do anything about it."
There are also many Internet discussions about the abolition
of social maintenance fee.
A netizen wrote: It is shameless to buy 『the right to give birth.’
Another netizen stated: Since the day someone is born,
it is destined to fall in the trap to negotiate with all sorts
of questionable and unlawful administrative charges.
