Dear Friends:
In this season of giving, please remember the women and babies of China,
who are still enduring conditions that are beyond imagination. At this
moment, there are women in China who have gotten pregnant without a
“birth permit” and are still in danger of being dragged away for a
forced abortion. Baby girls in China are still in danger of selective
abortion and abandonment.
You may have heard that China has “abandoned” its One Child Policy. This is not true.
Regarding the new Two-Child Policy, blind activist Chen Guangcheng
tweeted, “This is nothing to be happy about. First the (Chinese
government) would kill any baby after one. Now they will kill any baby
after two.”

The brutality continues. Under China’s new Two-Child Policy, unmarried mothers and third babies are still being forcibly aborted.
On July 22, 2016, for example, a Guangdong couple was told they must
have an abortion or both lose their government jobs. The wife was eight
months pregnant. On October 28, 2016, the BBC ran a groundbreaking
report, interviewing a family currently in hiding to give birth to their
third child. The father stated, “If we weren’t in hiding, they would
have forced us to have an abortion.”

Further, according to the most recent State Department
Report, the number of abortions in China has increased from 13 to 23
million a year. 23 million abortions a year comes to 63,013 abortions a day, 2625 abortions an hour, 43 per minute!
Meanwhile, China leads the world in the sex-selective abortion of baby girls. Our
Save a Girl campaign is saving the lives of baby girls at risk of being
aborted or abandoned because of son preference in China! Through
our network of on-the- ground fieldworkers, we are able to reach women
who are pregnant with or who have just given birth to a girl, and are
being pressured to abort or abandon her. We offer these mothers
encouragement and a monthly stipend for a year, empowering them to keep
their daughters. We have an overwhelming success rate and have saved hundreds of precious babies through this campaign.
After two years’ study, Anni won a competition play at Carnegie Hall in December 2016.
We also rescued Zhang Anni, the persecuted daughter of
dissident Zhang Lin. She was called “China’s youngest prisoner of
conscience,” as she was kidnapped out of her elementary school at age 10
and detained overnight. The Chinese government persecuted Anni in an
attempt to silence her heroic father. We raised the visibility of Anni’s
case internationally and then conducted quiet diplomacy to get her out
of China. She is now living with my husband and me and we are raising
her as our own daughter. After only two years of study, Anni won a piano competition and will be performing in Carnegie Hall in December 2016!
We are so proud of our beautiful, talented Chinese daughter. She is a
constant reminder of the beauty and brilliance that are being lost every
day in China through sex-selective abortion.
Reggie has been called “the leading voice” in the movement to end forced abortion and gendercide in China.
Women’s Rights Without Frontiers has been called the
“leading voice” in the battle against forced abortion and gendercide in
China. Indeed, I was astonished and humbled to be named one of the “Top
Ten People” of 2013 by Inside the Vatican magazine. We have
testified eight times at the U.S. Congress, three times at the European
Parliament, twice at the British Parliament, and have briefed the
Canadian Parliament, the State Department, the White House, the United
Nations and the Vatican. Our efforts have been fruitful. Both the
European Parliament and the United Nations Commission on the Status of
Women have issued statements condemning forced abortion.
While a student at Yale Law School, Reggie had the privilege of working with Saint Mother Teresa in Calcutta.
