Dear Friends:<\/p>\n

In this season of giving, please remember the women and babies of China,<\/strong> who are still enduring conditions that are beyond imagination.\u00a0 At this moment, there are women in China who have gotten pregnant without a \u201cbirth permit\u201d and are in danger of being dragged away for a forced abortion, up to the ninth month of pregnancy.\u00a0 Baby girls in China are in danger of selective abortion and abandonment.<\/p>\n

You may have heard that China has \u201cabandoned\u201d its One Child Policy.\u00a0 This is not true.<\/p>\n

Regarding the new Two-Child Policy, blind activist Chen Guangcheng tweeted,\u00a0 \u201cThis is nothing to be happy about. First the (Chinese government) would kill any baby after one. Now they will kill any baby after two.\u201d<\/p>\n

The brutality continues.\u00a0 This October Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers <\/strong>was featured at a powerful event in the United States Library of Congress to expose the truth of China\u2019s One Child Policy.\u00a0 The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation invited Representative Chris Smith, blind activist Chen Guangcheng, and Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers President Reggie Littlejohn\u00a0to join forces to expose the atrocities of forced abortion and gendercide in China.\u00a0\u00a0 We talked about women like Feng Jianmei, who was forcibly aborted at 7 months.<\/strong> \u00a0China reports that it has 13 million abortions a year.\u00a0 That\u2019s 35,000 a day, or almost 1500 an hour.\u00a0 The brutality of China\u2019s forced abortion policy is repeated thousands of times every day.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, China leads the world in the sex-selective abortion of baby girls.\u00a0 Our Save a Girl campaign is saving the lives of baby girls at risk of being aborted or abandoned because of son preference in China! <\/strong>\u00a0Through our network of on-the-ground fieldworkers, we are able to reach women who are pregnant with or who have just given birth to a girl, and are being pressured to abort or abandon her.\u00a0 We offer these mothers encouragement and a monthly stipend for a year, empowering them to keep their daughters.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>

This girl is one of 200 babies saved by our \u201cSave a Girl\u201d Campaign.<\/p><\/div>\n

We have an overwhelming success rate and have saved 200 precious babies through this campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also rescued Zhang Anni, the persecuted daughter of dissident Zhang Lin.\u00a0 She was called \u201cthe youngest prisoner of conscience in China,\u201d as she was kidnapped out of her elementary school at age 10 and detained overnight.\u00a0 The Chinese government persecuted Anni in an attempt to silence her heroic father.\u00a0 We raised the visibility of Anni\u2019s case internationally and then conducted quiet diplomacy to get her out of China.\u00a0 She is now living with my husband and me and we are raising her as our own daughter.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers has been called the \u201cleading voice\u201d in the battle against forced abortion and gendercide in China.\u00a0 Indeed, I was astonished and humbled to be named one of the \u201cTop Ten People\u201d of 2013 by Inside the Vatican<\/em> magazine.<\/strong> We have testified seven times at the U.S. Congress, three times at the European Parliament, twice at the British Parliament, and have briefed the Canadian Parliament, the State Department, the White House, the United Nations and the Vatican.\u00a0 Our efforts have born fruit.\u00a0 Both the European Parliament and the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women have issued statements condemning forced abortion. \u00a0We are unique in having the attention of both the left and the right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers needs your support to continue.\u00a0 We need to raise $50,000.00 to continue our work.<\/strong>\u00a0 Please prayerfully consider partnering with us in fighting perhaps the greatest injustice of our age.<\/p>\n

The women and babies of China urgently need your help!<\/strong>\u00a0 If you would like to partner with us, please send a check made out to Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers to:<\/p>\n
