The past few days have given us a look at the devastation in China from this weeks earthquake.
From the beginning, before I knew how bad it was, I heard a school was hit badly. The first thought that came into my mind was how the children in that school probably came from one child families.
China, of course, has had a policy of one child families and forced abortions (they say 400 million since 1979)and sterilizations for the past 30 years. I will never forget a book I read years ago by Steven MOsher "A Mother Ordeal". http://www.amazon.com/Mothers-Ordeal-Womans-Against-One-Child/dp/0151626626 It left such an impact on me..we truly do take much for granted here in the US although I do fear we are heading down the wrong road.
The only people with more than one child in China are the rich who can pay the government off. The poor people of China now not only have to deal with abortion and sterilizations they have experienced but many of them now have to deal with the loss of their only child.
Please keep our world so enmeshed in abortion and especially the people of China in your prayers
