China brutally kills millions of babies with forced abortions
FREE Catholic Classes
In China, 360 to 400 million babies have been aborted over the past 35 years. Due to the country's intense and strict birth control laws, such as the one-child policy, many young lives have been taken.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to Chen Guangcheng, a Chinese attorney who tried to protect women from forced abortion and senior fellow at Catholic University of America, more than 130,000 forced abortions and/or sterilizations occurred in a single city during a six-month period in 2005.
"This brutality and these crimes against woman and their families have wrought irrevocable physical, spiritual and psychological harm," Guangcheng stated.
During the hearing of the Congressional Executive Commission on China, Guangcheng explained in detail about the forced abortions. If the child survived the late-term abortion, it would then be killed by drowning or by breaking the neck.
"In his testimony, Chen absolutely gets it right," explained Rep. Chris Smith, chairman of the commission who wrote a 1999 bill passed by Congress to hold foreign governments responsible for human rights abuses. "He calls China's coercive population planning policies 'genocide.'"
Under the Admiral James W. Nance and Meg Donovan Foreign Relations Act, the secretary of State and the attorney general can not issue visas to allow entry into the United States to any foreign national directly involved with forced abortions or forced sterilizations, according to CNS News.
Guangcheng is pressing for an international tribunal to investigate the crimes against humanity and calls on the United States to enforce the law that bars Chinese officials from coming to the U.S.
"To the best of my knowledge under President Obama, almost no one -- we can't find anyone - who has been rendered inadmissible," Smith said. "Thus, it has been a gross failure of the Obama administration not to enforce existing law, particularly on those in China who so brutally violate women's rights."
June 1 is China's "Children's Day," according to the BeijingHoliday.com, where the children of the country are lifted up and celebrated.
