Letter to Vice President Biden -- One Child Policy Understandable?

Vice President Biden on a recent visit to China conveyed his understanding for China's One Child Policy.  I encourage you now to take a look at the letter sent to Vice President Biden by China human rights advocate Reggie Littlejohn, President of Women's Rights Without Frontiers.

Dear Vice President Biden:


I write concerning the remark you made Sunday during your official visit to China: "Your policy has been one which I fully understand -- I'm not second-guessing -- of one child per family."


By your own admission, then, you "fully understand":

• That China's One Child Policy is enforced through forced abortion and involuntary sterilization;

• That, because of the traditional preference for boys, girls are disproportionately subject to abortion, abandonment and infanticide;

• That because of this gendercide, there are an estimated 37 million more males than females living in China today;

• That this severe gender imbalance is a powerful, driving force behind human trafficking and sexual slavery from nations surrounding China;

• That according to the World Health Organization, China has the highest female suicide rate of any country in the world. Approximately 500 Chinese women kill themselves each day. Could this extraordinary suicide rate be related to the trauma of enduring a forced abortion or forced sterilization?

Since you "fully understand" this, how can you then state that you do not "second-guess" this policy, which causes more violence to women and girls than any other official policy on earth? I understand that you have several children. Would you "second-guess" this policy if it were the law of the United States? Can you imagine the devastation if it were your own wife being dragged away to forcibly abort your children? Families in China endure this every day. Is such a policy acceptable so long as it does not affect U.S. families, but only Chinese families?


Or do you agree with CNN's Ted Turner, and with Norman Fleishman, the former Planned Parenthood executive, both of whom have stated that the United States should adopt the One Child Policy?


To say that you "fully understand" and yet do not "second-guess" the One Child Policy is to turn a blind eye to the incalculable suffering caused by this policy. If you disagree, please issue a statement clarifying your remarks. Otherwise, why should we not conclude that for you, forced abortion, forced sterilization, infanticide and gendercide are acceptable forms of population control?


If you truly wish to "fully understand" forced abortion in China, watch this four minute video: www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/blog/?p=219


I, too, "fully understand" the coercive enforcement of China's One Child Policy. It is an atrocity that must be abolished from the face of the earth.

I commend Reggie for standing up and defending women and children who have been and will continue to be victims of China's One Child Policy.  Stand against forced abortion and let others know!

Urgent Prayer Request!

Please pray for a 15 year old young lady who is being pressured into an abortion by her mother.

Last weekend a 15 years old girl was taken to Planned Parenthood by her mother. As soon as her mom dropped her off, the young woman left Planned Parenthood. The mom is forcing her daughter to have an abortion and has scheduled the abortion for Friday the 10th at a Planned Parenthood in Tustin, California. 

Please pray for this young woman, her unborn child, and all those who are counseling her.

Update June 7 -- A woman by the name of Connie is in direct contact with the young lady being forced into having an abortion.  Many resources are being passed on to her, but there is some difficulty due to the teenager being underage and needing somewhere to legally stay.  Please keep praying for this young lady as she struggles with her mother to keep her child's life.

Update June 8 -- Through an email, chain I just received update on the 15 year old girl whose mom was attempting to force her to have an abortion.  She is two months pregnant and has been staying in different temporary locations since previously staying at the boyfriend's house, where the mother later sent the police looking for her daughter.  Good news is that the young lady has a meeting scheduled for later today with a lawyer at a pro-life clinic.  When asked how the young girl is doing, the counselor in contact with the 15 year old shared that she is "very afraid, quiet, (and) like a lost child".  Please continue to pray for this young lady as she is now a 2 month pregnant run away and desperately needs loving support.  


If anyone wishes to send a spiritual bouquet, card, or email expressing your prayers and support please send them to Vivian Brehm at vivscafe@sbcglobal.net or mail to the adress below and Vivan has assured she will pass everything on to the young lady.
