Not Made in China

LINYI, October 26, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Despite claims by some Chinese authorities that forced abortion and sterilization is illegal, a massive program underway since March in China’s Shandong province still goes on unabated.

The world is silent as the Chinese kill their people by the 10s of millions every year by abortion. How can the rest of the world speak out against them when we are doing the same thing?

Because abortion is wrong.

Because abortion is wrong in America, in Germany, in China and every other country where it is used as birth control.

A report from India's Sunday Telegraph confirms that the abuse continues. "More than 120,000 people in eastern Shandong province alone have been forced to undergo abortions and sterilizations over the past few months said Chen Guangcheng, 34, a blind social activist from Linyi town in eastern Shandong where some of the worst cases occurred". The Telegraph reports the story of farmers Zhu Hong Ying and her husband, Xia Jian Dong, from the Linyi region; the area where Chen Guangcheng alerted the world about the abuses this summer.

Zhu fled to Linyi city after learning that authorities were brutally enforcing the One Child policy in March. After her three sisters were arrested, Zhu returned; her son was forcibly aborted by having a needle filled with poison injected into her womb. Looking at her dead son after he was delivered still-born the following day was “the most heartbreaking moment of my life,” Zhu said.

Forced abortion and sterilization seem so far away in America, but is all too real in China. Their One Child policy is gruesome and inhuman and has been going on since 1982 and is probably responsible for the deaths of over 200 million people.

When we allow our governments to control us in this way it opens the doors to frightening policies, like the One Child policy.

Xia said a nurse then dumped the baby in a black garbage bag, instructing him to throw it into the back of a truck parked outside. “It had a large container kind of thing at the back,” he said emotionally. “When I opened the door and looked in it was full of black bags and blood.”

Meanwhile Chen Guangcheng was again the victim of a beating from authorities for the second time in a month, according to a Radio Free Asia report. “(They) started beating and kicking him,” Chen’s cousin Chen Guangli said. “He fell to the ground five or six times. He is a blind man. He could not see them.” Chen was reportedly trying to leave his home to welcome visitors, when he was attacked by the guards who ensure Chen does not violate his house arrest.

Nine assailants, including two authorities, participated in the beating. One officer told RFA, “His injury is not a big deal.” Chen’s cousin reported that he had not been allowed to receive medical attention.

We need to stand up to our representatives in America and demand an end to abortion.
