Senator Ted Cruz spoke out Wednesday against horrific forced abortions in China via its "totalitarian" one-child policy. In a speech on the Senate floor, he proposed "shaming" the one-party communist state by renaming the street on which the Chinese embassy is located after an imprisoned political dissident and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. During his remarks, Cruz called out Senator Dianne Feinsteins's objection to the passage of a resolution towards this end.
Cruz began with China's one-child policy and forced abortions. He recalled the story of Feng Jianmei, who was abducted from her apartment in June of 2012 after her husband had left for work by five Chinese "family planning" officials for being unable to pay the fine levied on families in violated of the one-child limit. She was taken to a hospital, restrained, and coerced into "signing" a consent form with her thumbprint. After a pillow case was put over her head, government abortionists injected toxins into her unborn daughter's brain. After over twenty-four hours of excruciating contractions without anesthesia, she birthed her dead child. The cruelty continued as the government operatives laid the body of her aborted daughter beside her on the hospital bed, a photograph of whichbecame the story's clarion call and a slide of Cruz's presentation.
Jianmei was seven months pregnant at the time.

Cruz then recounted the 1980 renaming of the street in front of the Soviet Embassy to "Sakharov Plaza," honoring the Soviet dissident and nuclear physicist. Using this episode as a model, Cruz pushed for the renaming of the the street of the Chinese Embassy to Liu Xiaobo Plaza. A political dissident who calls for democratic reform and human rights protections in China, Liu is imprisoned as Sakharov was. Liu has been in custody since December of 2008.
Having made his case, Cruz shamed Feinstein, saying, "As much as I hope that my words penetrate those cells, I pray that the words and actions of the senior senator from California do not penetrate those cells. It saddens me that in the face of unspeakable brutality and evil, that the Democratic Senator chooses to align herself with the Communist Party dictators rather than a Nobel Peace laureate."
Last week, CNBC Republican debate moderator Carl Quintanilla tweeted out support for China evil one-child policy.

She cuddles up with her money.
$$$$$$
Feinstein and her hubby make HUGE business profits in China so she obviously has a major CONFLICT OF INTEREST -— now we know why she is doing this. (female dog).
Good grief what a phony fake fraud that Dianne Feinstein is. Another billionaire senator.
A false headline. Feinstein knows no shame so she is incapable of being shamed.
My college biology professor spent 2/3 of his teaching time espousing population limiting policies and praising China’s one child policy.
After an entire class day dedicated to China being so fabulous, I raised my hand and asked “what part of China’s policy do you think was best, the forced abortions or the forced sterilizations?”
He kinda laughed and moved on....I think he actually thought I was joking.
My grade suffered due to my ongoing antagonism to his marxist thought promotion. It was
actually the last college class I completed.
Needing only 2 more courses to complete my Associates, I chose not to suffer through the 2 required cultural diversity classes and as I type...I don’t regret halting my college education.
Exactly. It is scientifically impossible to shame the Party of Infanticide.
She lives just fine as she counts her ill gotten gains.
She’s a disgusting greedbag.
She can keep telling herself what she wants to believe. She can claim she’s not enabling the Chinese governement. She can say that she’s incapable of influencing them. She can even try to sell herself on the notion that the horror scene in that picture is ‘just a bunch cells.’
She’s in a position of power. It IS her responsibility, regardless of how effective she ultimately proves to be - she should be working towards an end to such atrocities. If personal enrichment or liberal ideology is her god, then she will reap what she sows someday.
Relative to Sen. Cruz, this is not a campaign stunt. Not a calculated tactic to gain traction in the polls. This is an example of what kind of man Mr. Cruz is. I pray more people like him follow his example.
DIFI can’t be shamed.
She walked over two dead bodies to be where she is right now. That’s SF.
While the one child policy was terrible, here we are in America, promoting abortion at every turn.
But she carries a piece and should stick it up her ass and blow out what little brains she has.
"Governor Jerry Brown sang the preacher's praises. Congressman John Burton, Phil's brother, lobbied the governor to appoint Jones to the high-profile board of regents, which oversaw California's sprawling public university system. San Francisco Supervisor - now U.S. Senator - Dianne Feinstein accepted an invitation to lunch with Jones and to tour Peoples Temple."The Jonestown nutcase, before hieing off to Guyana, was very active in supporting the now notorious array of SF politicians, including Feinstein, that have plagued the counrty for decades.
