Seeing Red Over China's Actions

This latest news report from Family Research Council (FRC) illustrates the ongoing struggle that people living in China have when it comes to their basic human rights.

It's enough to make anyone angry and I'm seeing red over China's actions after reading about this case this morning.

The one question on everyone's mind is how President-elect Barack Obama will respond to this blatant display of disrespect for human life.

If his own record on abortion is any indication I'm afraid we won't see him stand up to protect basic human rights.

Here's the FRC piece...

Newspapers from cities as far away as Melbourne, Australia are anxiously awaiting word on a Uyghur woman in China, six months pregnant with her third child. According to local reports, government officials tracked Arzigul Tursun down in her village and escorted her to a hospital where authorities ordered her to abort the baby against her will. Although guards had been stationed at the hospital, Arzigul managed to escape.

After the police interrogated her family, the mother-to-be was recaptured yesterday in the home of some relatives. Her plight has sparked outrage in the international community, which is demanding her release.

In the past, the U.S. government - at President Bush's insistence - has withheld funding from groups like the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) for its supporting role in these coercive abortion policies. President-elect Obama has said he will restore U.S. funding to UNFPA. America will no longer be an innocent bystander of tragedies like this one. Instead, the U.S. will be knowingly funding forced abortions like Arzigul's with millions of taxpayer dollars.

In an interview with the Obama campaign before the election, RH Reality check asked, 'If elected President, would Sen. Obama, overturn the Global Gag Rule or reinstate funding for UNFPA?' A spokesman for the campaign responded, 'Yes, Senator Obama would overturn the global gag rule and reinstate funding for UNFPA.' The new administration plans to funnel millions of dollars to UNFPA despite its support of China's savage one-child policy.

Contact your leaders and tell them that terrorizing pregnant women is not the 'change' America voted for. Urge them to oppose Obama's anti-woman agenda.
