CHINA’S ONE CHILD POLICY CONTINUES TO DESTROY LIVES, DESPITE REPORTS
On
January 1, 2014, the Chinese Communist Party tweaked the One Child
Policy, allowing couples in which either parent is an only child to have
a second child. This minor exception has been widely and wrongfully
reported as an “easing” or “relaxation” of the One Child Policy. One
non-profit organization recently released a statement that they “would
like to celebrate and rejoice” in the “victory” that additional babies
have been born under the most recent exception. Their statement – and
the reports published in the mainstream media -- do not mention the fact
that the Chinese Communist Party has made no promise whatsoever to end
coercive birth control. To the contrary, on January 28, 2015, Chinese
Communist Party news organ Chinadaily.com stated, “National Health and
Family Planning Commission officials said in November [2014] that China
currently has no plans to suspend or further relax its One-Child
Policy.” “Shanghai Couples Urged to have 2nd Children” 1/28/15

At
an October 2014 event concerning the One Child Policy co-hosted by The
Heritage Foundation and Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, blind activist
Chen Guangcheng described a “war zone” caused by brutal family planning
abuses: “In today’s China, under the Communist rule, the government can
put their hand into your body, grab your baby out of your womb, and
kill your baby in your face.” “They Will Kill Your Baby in Your Face –
Chinese Activist Chen Guangcheng” 11/4/14
http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=1863. At the same
event, Cong. Chris Smith called the one-child policy, “the most
egregious, vicious attack on women ever. China’s one-child policy
announced in 1979 is state-sponsored violence against women and children
– including and especially the girl child – and constitutes massive
crimes against humanity.” 400 Million Lives “Prevented” through the One
Child Policy, Chinese Official Says 10/10/14

Reggie Littlejohn, president of Women’s Rights Without
Frontiers, stated, “The coercive enforcement of the One Child Policy
continues unabated, destroying women, children, whole families – and
indeed, the fabric of Chinese society. It constitutes the greatest
women’s rights violation on the face of the earth and in the history of
the world. Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, no one supports
forced abortion, because it is not a choice. The One Child Policy does
not need to be ‘eased.’ It needs to be abolished.” Read More
