Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

ABUSES of women's reproductive rights, some of which break China's own laws,
are provoking outrage as Chinese public opinion wakes up to the persistence
of forced abortion, compulsory sterilization and even infanticide.

China has run birth control campaigns since the 1970s. In 1979 it passed laws
restricting city dwellers to one child and rural people to two if the first
was a girl or disabled.

Officials say the policy has prevented 300m births and helped reduce poverty,
raising life expectancy to 73. But the Chinese population is still growing
by 8m-10m a year, or about a million every five weeks, and will do so for
several more years.

Open discussion of abuses of the policy has raised hopes among women activists
that Hillary Clinton will speak up for them when she makes her first visit
to China as US secretary of state this week.

Clinton annoyed the Chinese regime with a speech at a 1995 women's conference
in Beijing in which she said: "It is a violation of human rights when women
are denied the right to plan their own families, and that includes being
forced to have an abortion or sterilized against their will."

Bravo to the women speaking out. The atrocities they have had to endure are inhuman and I will be keeping them in prayer.

I was surprised to hear Clinton's words knowing her support of abortion. Could it be possible she does not recognize how many women are forced to abort in the US…it may not be by the government yet, but certainly countless numbers of women are forced to abort by boyfriends, husbands, parents etc..perhaps Hillary needs to visit here….http://www.unfairchoice.info/
