Chinese Woman Who Underwent Forced Abortion Accuses UNFPA

A woman who was forced to have an abortion before she fled China and another woman who was a former "family planning administrator" in China together accused the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) of supporting forced abortion in China, at a press conference today. The presentation comes as the Bush administration is under pressure from abortion advocates to release $34 million in funding to the UNFPA this year.

Mrs. Ma Dong Fan testified that after being forced to have an abortion and given an IUD without her knowledge, she was then forced to have Norplant implanted before she fled China. She was joined by Mrs. Gao Xiao Duan, a former Administrator of a Planned Birth Control Office in the People's Republic of China, who recounted the brutality she was part of in enforcing China's one-child program.

From 1984 to 1998, Mrs. Gao was employed at the office in Yonghe Town, Jinjiang Municipality, Fujian Province, where she administered the region's coercive population control policies. She described horrific human-rights abuses, including forced abortions and sterilizations, the killing of live-born babies, the imprisonment of offending women, and the destruction of their homes. In testimony before US Congressman in 1998, Gao confessed "I did so many brutal things.... All those...years I was a monster... injuring others by carrying out the Chinese Communist authorities' barbaric planned birth policy."

Things you will never read in your neighborhood--or national--media. Only the pro-life newsletters will ever tell you about this sort of thing. The liberal press and TV will continue to ignore it. It's just not congenial to their way of thinking.

From the days of Solomon on down we may read
Of the ways of a man and a maid.
There's nothing new to us under the sun,
And certainly not in the shade.

I checked with a friend in N.O.W. and they're all cool with this, nothing to worry about, it was the right thing to do.

Wow, thanks for posting the link. Even if one is aware of such to an extent, it certainly drives the point home to read something like that.

Sadly, there is not a lot of interest around here, and unless there is a tremendous amount of heat put on Bush, he is going to cave and compromise on the $34 million to UNFPA.

This thread should have been entitled, "Which One of George W's Ties Is Your Favorite." That way it would have gotten some much due attention.

Call 202 456 1414 to tell the President "Zero funding for UNFPA"!

Even the Chinese can understand what an abortion is.
