Reggie Littlejohn takes aim against International Planned Parenthood at a rally in Concord, CA Saturday<\/p><\/div>\n

A National Protest of Planned Parenthood was held this past Saturday, April 23.\u00a0 At the protest site in Concord, CA Reggie Littlejohn, President of \u00a0Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers<\/a><\/span>, spoke about her conviction that, \u00a0posturing as a champion of \u201cchoice\u201d in the US, International Planned Parenthood\u2019s true colors show boldly elsewhere on the globe, particularly the People\u2019s Republic of China.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
In China, abortion has little to do with a woman\u2019s choice. The world was shocked in 2012 when WRWF released the photograph of Feng Jianmei lying next to her forcibly aborted baby, showing to millions the true face of the Chinese Communist Party.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Meanwhile, International Planned Parenthood is not merely present in China, but their affiliate organization literally works in tandem with the government\u2019s coercive One Child (now Two-Child) Policy.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) first fully associated with the China Family Planning Association (CFPA) as its main access to China in 1983, when forced abortion under the new One-Child Policy was at its height. When CFPA was first created three years earlier, the official communique stated its purpose was to \u201dimplement government population control policies.”\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
In its first decade, in collaboration with IPPF, CFPA boasts it established a branch in almost every village in China and mobilized as many as 94 million members and volunteers. In fact, China was the second country after New Zealand to become officially recognized as a qualified member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), after CFPA met IPPF\u2019s 65 criteria on sexual and reproductive health issues.\u00a0 All the while, the CFPA was implementing a program that was forcibly aborting and sterilizing women.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Nor is this collaboration on International Planned Parenthood\u2019s part an artifact of the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Today IPPF is still CFPA\u2019s main international supporter, and its executives have gone on record praising the achievements of China\u2019s notorious One Child Policy. China\u2019s family planning office, in turn, has expressed the importance of international cooperation for maintaining control over population levels.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 2009, IPPF director-general Gill Greer called China\u2019s One-Child Policy \u201cvery conducive to China’s development in various aspects,\u201d including the realm of \u201chealth care services.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
In a 2011 letter to the editor, former Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Norman Fleishman called China\u2019s One Child Policy a \u201cstart\u201d to curbing global population.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
IPPF\u2019s site points to CFPA as its main operations hub in China and has recently publicized its good relationship with the Chinese government.\u00a0 In 2013, following a change in China\u2019s leadership, IPPF described its meeting with new Chinese premier Li Kequiang and mutual plans to \u201cstrengthen the partnership\u201d between China and IPPF.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
If Planned Parenthood stands for \u2018choice,\u2019 then why are they working hand in hand with the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s coercive population control machine?<\/span><\/div>\n
