What's Worse Than Abortion? This Is...

This extra-brutal deed occurs 1,500 times per hour in China.

In China, one thousand five hundred abortions occur per hour. Let that number sink in for a minute. 

These are the results of an investigative report that has been presented by Accuracy in Media and Women's Rights Without frontiers (WRWF) have been presented in the online publication, The Blaze. The details are gruesome and shocking.

Forced abortion in China murders millions of children each year.

Forced abortion in China murders millions of children each year.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to Reggie Littlejohn, President of (WRWF) as reported by The Blaze, China performs 13 million abortions per year. That averages to about 1,500 abortions per hour. 

Catholic Online has previously reported on the incredible brutality of abortion in China. While abortion is a violent form of murder, Chinese officials and doctors take the practice to another level, often subjecting women to even more abuse than they face in other countries such as the US. In China, women routinely suffer forced abortions that can include kidnapping, beating, and forced sterilization - not to mention the incredibly steep fines that follow. 

Unlike in the US, where most women enter the abortion mills willingly (or at least under their own power) Chinese officials take women into custody and march them into the clinic. Some women run away in an attempt to save their children, but often their attempts prove futile as both family and officials hunt them down for their babies. 

For a nation such as China, which is fast becoming a world leader in so many areas, it seems incomprehensible that such barbaric and inhumane practices would persist. 

Once a woman enters the clinic, the experience intensifies. According to the investigative report, which published online discussions between doctors, it is common for babies to be murdered in their ninth month. In many cases, the babies are born alive after induced labor, forcing the mothers to go through the pain of childbirth - to be followed by the brutal murder of their infant child, right before their eyes and ears. 

The online discussions mention babies tied into trash bags and thrown into trash cans labeled "hazardous waste" and left to die. At least one post referred to a child that suffered two days in such conditions before dying. 

To avoid such horrific incidents, some doctors urged others to puncture the baby's skull before it emerges from the womb. 

The gruesome inhumanity of forced abortions in China is perhaps the one that thing is worse than the practice of abortion itself. Regardless of how old the child is when it is killed, abortion is a gruesome process. But when the child is taken from the mother in a routine process that is more akin to forcible rape, Chinese officials have managed to take the horror one step further. 

And as mentioned above, the steep fines imposed after the procedure only ensure the humiliation and inhumanity of the deed persist for months to years afterwards. 

Ultimately, this should serve as a call to action for all men and women worldwide. What happens in China is an example of what happens when abortion becomes a norm and an entrenched social practice. Is there any wonder now why civilized people in the western world so vehemently oppose abortion?

    Knowing take china is allowing this. We as American nation should not buy anything from china, Our Government should know this, How well educated do you have to be, Our political Government, President, Governor, Congressman and so forth, if they have any moral value,because they always end their speeches, God Bless America, And obama wants to push for contraceptives, and abortion, this guy has done noting for this Country. We need to be praying every day because God is holding U.S.A. by the thread. God will hold our officials on account for being leaders for every decision. Just because they are King, Queen or president they wont escape judgment. We will all be judged. Pray Pray Pray.

    The irony that our Commander in Chief cannot openly and publicy support Chen because his policies fund (through the U.N. Population Fund) this atrocity. "I've heard the press releases, and I have no comment."
    In the end, it is always the women who suffer. In the U.S., we've only been conned into choosing it for ourselves. What's more is even the 'pro-choice' community is silent . Can there be any graver atrocity and violation of human rights/dignity than forced abortion? Fact: In China, every 3 seconds a woman commits suicide. As Our Lady of Fatima said...."Russia will spread her errors throughout the world" (communism).
    God Bless you Chen and all those suffering souls in China who suffer the death of their children and the violent intrusion of their souls and bodies. Death would seem preferable to this type of suffering. The suicide statistic speaks for itself. Have Mercy on us and on the whole world.... don't think it can't happen here america..when we are directly funding it somewhere else... esp in the guise of the U.N.'s 'eco-sustainability'

    Once abortion became legal than there is no going back,the same goes for same sex marriages and pornography etc.,bad becomes good,again and again,then it becomes horrendously a"HUMAN RIGHT"that MUST be protected. Today is the age of the immoral as morality,and morality as some objected form of a bigoted immorality. This is what the "Progressive Politically Correct Age" is all about as chaos and confusion becomes logical. It is all like changing the rules of math so no one can calculate anything anymore. Murder{Abortion}still =Murder{Abortion} If math has not changed than that formula is still a CONSTANT!

    Sure wish we weren't funding their activities. Between the volume of cheap crap we consume daily and our debt, we support these evil policies in droves. As the saying goes, vote with your dollar. Just terrible.
