Incident just the latest in continuing horror saga of Chinese 'family planning officials'

Human rights group Women's Rights Without Frontiers have learned that a Chinese woman was beaten and had her child forcibly aborted at seven months of pregnancy in Shanxi Province, China. In a nauseating twist, these "officials" took a photograph of the woman lying in bed with her aborted child lying at her side.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The woman, Feng Jianmei, was beaten and dragged into a vehicle by a group of family planning officials while her husband was at work. When the officials asked for money for fines from Feng's family and did not receive the funds, they forcibly aborted Feng at seven months. After taking a grisly snapshot of the deed, Feng is receiving medical treatment in Ankang City, Zhenpin County, Zengjia Town, Yupin village.

Reggie Littlejohn, president of Women's Rights Without Frontiers, said, "This is an outrage. No legitimate government would commit or tolerate such an act".

"Those who are responsible should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity," Littlejohn said. "WRWF calls on the United States government and the leaders of the free world to strongly condemn forced abortion and all coercive family planning in China."

This loathsome act came after global pressure appeared to have stopped Chinese family planning officials in Changsha, Hunan province from following through with a threatened forced abortion on a woman and her unborn baby in the fifth month of pregnancy.

In a separate instance, a 37-year-old woman, Cao Ruyi, was dragged from her home and beaten on the morning of June 6 by more than a dozen Chinese family planning officials. The mother, five months pregnant, was accused of violating China's "one child" policy because she and her husband already have a six-year-old daughter.

Cao's husband "expressed their thanks to ChinaAid for exposing the violent manner in which the local family planning officials dragged his wife to the hospital and the threat of performing a forced abortion on her."

"He said the domestic and international attention and concern that Fu's publicity efforts elicited was the reason Ms. Cao was allowed to return home," a ChinaAid added.

However, before her release from the hospital, Cao was forced to sign a guarantee that she will pay nearly a $1,500 "pregnancy termination deposit fee," which will not be returned if she has her baby. The deposit will serve as partial payment of her fine for giving birth to a baby without government permission. She will also be required to pay a "social burden compensation fee" of $25,000.

Motion 312 died today. What a sad day for Canada. My heart especially goes out to my unborn brothers and sisters who will continue to pay the price with their blood so that people may choose to life as they please. The politicians who voted on this motion should have been required to see what an abortion actually is before being able to participate. And if just watching one makes a person sick then just imagine what the child is going through. Yet, we continue to allow it. That quite frankly is an incredible testimony to the extent of callousness and cruelty which exists in this country.

Richard Bock, a SS officer who worked at Auschwitz recalls watching workers comb the trains looking for concealed children and after pulling them out of their hiding places, they would take them to the gas chambers, throw them in, and then slam the door shut. Bock said to his attendant, "I am going to be sick. I've never seen anything like it in my life, it's absolutely terrible. I can't stand it anymore”. And the man replied, "You do get used to anything in time."

It doesn’t matter what people think or say about abortion. And it doesn't matter how many times they repeat it. Abortion is and will always be cold-blooded murder. And nothing will ever change that.

Canada’s fate is now sealed. When God is finished with this country it will be unrecognizable.

"How much the loss of souls grieved Jesus! More so, since it was a newborn baby that they were going to kill, without administering holy baptism to him. It seems to me that this sin weighs so much on the scale of Divine Justice, that it is the one that most cries out for revenge before God."

"[Jesus] tells me nothing other than the great chastisements which Divine Justice keeps prepared - how all the elements will arm themselves against man; the water, the fire, the wind, the rocks, the mountains, will change into deadly weapons, and strong earthquakes will make many cities and people disappear - and in all nations ... And then, the revolutions in which they are and will be engulfed; and the wars that are about to break out ..."

"Jesus, with sorrowful tone, added: "What disorder in the world! But this disorder is because of the leaders, both civilian and ecclesiastical. Their self-interested and corrupted lives did not have the strength to correct their subjects, therefore they closed their eyes to the evils of the members, since they already showed their own evils; and if they did correct them, it was all in a superficial way, because, not having the life of that good within themselves, how could they infuse it in others? How many times these perverted leaders have placed the evil before the good, to the extent that the few good were shaken by this behavior of the leaders. Therefore, I will have the leaders struck in a special way ... Don’t you remember that I founded my Church with twelve Apostles? In the same way, those few who will remain, will be enough to reform the world. The enemy is already at their doors; revolutions are already in the field; nations will swim in blood and their leaders will be scattered. Pray, pray and suffer, so that the enemy may not have the freedom to reduce everything to ruin."

poor baby...rest your soul in Gods loving Arms...and as for the mother i hope you will be able to pull it through. i know it may be hard but the baby is in a better world now.. i am just a young girl trying to figure out how insane people are today. forcing other people to abort their babies and even having laws in which only one baby is allowed within a family. in this life we were brought in this life to multiply so that the world may be filled. i just hope everyone knows the plan of salvation that there is a chance where we will be able to see our family in the after life.and that it is a big sin to abort because it is no different as killing. there are hundred of other people dying for childrens and kids but other are wasting it. if only people that are aborting their child think it over and go through the consequences. i hope Abortion will one day be banned......save souls.....

Abortion is an intrinsic sign...a murder of an innocent life who has the right to live in this God-given world. All kinds of abortion, whether legal or illegal or forcefully committed must come to an end. Only God has the sole right to end one's life and nobody else.

Remember Biden in China? What did he do or say? Obama's Planned Parenthood, HHS Mandate, etc.,AND a Biden Democratic ticket, is NOT a vote for Catholicism. It is not a vote for Christianity. It is not a vote for any religion who respects Life, in my humble opinion. May we pray an Our Father, for our own soul, and the the souls of others; a Hail Mary, for the Blessed Motherhood of our Lord, (and Life); and a Glory Be, for all the little glories and good we can do this day because of the 3 in 1=Our One Supreme and Almighty God. Thank you.

Proverb 6: 16
God hates one who sheds innocent blood. God have mercy on us. Let repent and pray on behalf of China and the whole world. The Government of China have put their annual growth margin in place of innocent life to please the world. Almighty Father I offer you the Body and Blood Soul and Divinity of thy most Beloved Son Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in atonement of our sins and the sins of the sins of the whole world.

My heart unites w/the Sorrowful Heart of Mary. And the Crown of Thorns around Jesus' Heart. What is humanity doing? They have lost the Freedom which Our Lord gave as a free gift. How long will it be before the Far Left of our own country lead us to the road of tyranny? Will we the people continue on w/their misrepresentation until it is too late? Where are the True Hearts and the True Souls of the first True Christians? "Jesus and Mary, Hear Our Humble Cries To Thee."
