DANG, SHE'S GOOD AT THIS:

Hilary Clinton Urges President Bush to Discuss Forced Abortion on China Trip (John-Henry Westen, November 16, 2005, LifeSiteNews.com)

After years of being urged by pro-lifers and Christians to condemn China's one-child policy, President George W. Bush is now being urged in the same direction by none other than Democratic Senator Hilary Clinton. In a letter to the President dated November 10, Clinton wrote, "I hope you will raise with the Chinese government the following points," the first of which concerns the coercive one-child program.

"Since first introduced in 1979, China's one-child policy has evoked strong concern over human rights abuses. These abuses have reportedly included denial of social benefits, fines, detention, destruction of property, forced abortion and forced sterilization. . .," she wrote. "In 1995, as a participant in the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, I heard first hand about these practices and spoke against them. In 2002, China enacted a Population and Family Planning Law aimed at ending human rights violations associated with the one-child policy. However, the 2004 State Department Country Report on Human Rights Practices suggests uneven Chinese enforcement of the law, with continuing use of psychological and economic pressure and threats to force women to terminate pregnancies or undergo sterilization."
