Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

March for Life D.C.: Raising a banner to save baby girls in China!
Reggie led a group marching against gendercide in China.

Women’s
Rights Without Frontiers carried an 8-foot banner to “End Gendercide” –
the sex-selective abortion of baby girls -- in China, at the March for
Life in Washington, D.C. on January 19.
Reggie Littlejohn, President of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers,
stated, “The United States has about one million abortions a year. For
every abortion we have in the United States, China as 23. China has an
incomprehensible 23 million abortions a year – many of them forced,
mostly of baby girls. The greatest hemorrhage of human life in the
world today is flowing out of China.”
Women are still pressured to abort or abandon baby girls, even under
China’s Two-Child Policy. For example, it was reported that a Chinese
woman from Anhui Province died after her husband pressured her into
aborting four pregnancies in a year, because he wanted a son. The
couple already had a four-year-old daughter. After the Two-Child Policy
was instituted on January 1, 2016, they decided to have a second child,
which the husband determined would be a boy. When the woman became ill
because of the repeated abortions, her husband divorced her. She used
the divorce settlement money (approximately U.S. $2500) to seek hospital
treatment, but then died. Her husband did not visit her in the
hospital and was planning on marrying another woman at the time of
the report.
Littlejohn continued, “My heart breaks for this woman, pressured into
four abortions by her husband, then left to die from the trauma – all
because he wanted a son! Brutal son preference remains in China, and
as I had predicted, the sex-selective abortion of baby girls continues
under the Two-Child Policy. Second daughters are still aborted or
abandoned.”
According to one U.N. estimate, up to 200 million women are missing in
the world today because of sex-selective abortion. This gendercide has
created a gender imbalance in China, where there are an estimated 37
million more males living than females. This gender imbalance is in
turn driving human trafficking and sexual slavery, within China and from
the surrounding countries.
WRWF’s “Save a Girl” Campaign has saved hundreds of baby girls from sex-selective abortion or abandonment.
YES, I WANT TO HELP END GENDERCIDE AND FORCED ABORTION IN CHINA!
