An exceptional man: Vietnamese man adopts unwanted children to save them from abortion

Tong Phuoc Phuc is an exceptional man, with an exceptional way of dealing with the rampant abortion rate in Vietnam: He adopts the unwanted children. Over fifty of them so far, to be exact.

In Vietnam, abortion is common and practiced at nearly every hospital. Faced with often crippling poverty, women often choose abortion—over 114,000 of them every single year. Faced with the reality that many of these women do not know where to turn and a severe shortage of shelters for pregnant women, Phuc has opened the doors of his home to any mother who needs care and needs a place for her child to stay.

Eight years ago, Phuc promised God that if his wife survived a difficult labour giving birth to their son, he would find some way to help others. According to one article detailing his remarkable story, “As his wife lay recuperating after the difficult birth, he recalls seeing many pregnant women going into the delivery room but always leaving alone. ‘I was wondering, where are the babies?’ he says, cradling an infant in each arm. ‘Then I realized they had abortions.’”

He first began saving money from his wages as a construction contractor to buy a plot of land to bury the unwanted children, picking them up from hospitals and abortion clinics and giving them a proper burial. Everyone, even his wife questioned what he was doing—as of last year, there were “some 7,000 tiny plots dotting the shady hillside, many marked with bright red, pink and yellow artificial roses.”

Post-abortive women began to hear about Phuc’s actions, and came to his little cemetery to pray. When women considering abortions also came to him, he opened his doors and they began moving into his home.

Remarkable. He sounds like a Saint in the making! My question is did his wife have a choice about all those women moving into their home? Or possibly he has enough land to give or rent out their own residence, which would be more sensible.
That’s fantastic. Hillary never heard of him and doesn’t wish to know about such humanitarians.

Wouldn’t it be great if more people were doers of the Word like this man instead of being primarily hearers only?

Yes indeed. This kind of goodness is usually confined to novels or old films nowadays. Today’s directors spend a lot of energy developing the character of the Anti-Hero, moreso than the truly righteous ones.

You probably wouldn’t be allowed to do that in America. :(

Faced with often crippling poverty, women often choose abortion....

It’s a shame they don’t choose not to become pregnant in the first place.

Wait! How can there be poverty in a communist workers’ paradise?
