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

In this season of giving,\u00a0please 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 still in danger of being dragged away for a forced abortion. Baby girls in China are still in danger of selective abortion and abandonment.\u00a0 In fact, just this summer, a woman died after her husband forced her to abort four pregnancies just because the babies were girls.<\/p>\n

You may have heard that China has \u201cabandoned\u201d its One Child Policy. This is not true.\u00a0Regarding the new Two-Child Policy, blind activist Chen Guangcheng tweeted, \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\u00a0Under China’s new Two-Child Policy, unmarried mothers and third babies are still being forcibly aborted.\u00a0<\/strong>On July 22, 2016, for example, a Guangdong couple was told they must have an abortion or both lose their government jobs. The wife was eight months pregnant. On October 28, 2016, the BBC ran a groundbreaking report, interviewing a family currently in hiding to give birth to their third child. The father stated, \u201cIf we weren\u2019t in hiding, they would have forced us to have an abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further, according to the a recent State Department Report, the number of abortions in China has increased from 13 to 23 million a year.\u00a023 million abortions a year comes to 63,013 abortions a day, 2625 abortions an hour, 43 per minute!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, China leads the world in the sex-selective abortion of baby girls.\u00a0Our Save a Girl campaign is saving the lives of baby girls at risk of being aborted or abandoned because of son preference in China!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Through 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. We offer these mothers encouragement and a monthly stipend for a year, empowering them to keep their daughters. We have an overwhelming success rate and\u00a0have saved hundreds of precious babies through this campaign.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After two years\u2019 study, Anni won a competition play at Carnegie Hall in December 2016.<\/p><\/div>\n

We also rescued Zhang Anni, the persecuted daughter of dissident Zhang Lin. She was called \u201cChina\u2019s youngest prisoner of conscience,\u201d as she was kidnapped out of her elementary school at age 10 and detained overnight. The Chinese government persecuted Anni in an attempt to silence her heroic father. We raised the visibility of Anni\u2019s case internationally and then conducted quiet diplomacy to get her out of China. She is now living with my husband and me and we are raising her as our own daughter.\u00a0\u00a0After only two years of study, Anni won a piano competition and performed in Carnegie Hall in December 2016!\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0We are so proud of our beautiful, talented Chinese daughter. She is a constant reminder of the beauty and brilliance that are being lost every day in China through sex-selective abortion.<\/p>\n

Reggie has been called \u201cthe leading voice\u201d in the movement to end forced abortion and gendercide in China.<\/p><\/div>\n

Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers has been called the \u201cleading voice\u201d in the battle against forced abortion and gendercide in China.<\/strong>Indeed, I was astonished and humbled to be named one of the \u201cTop Ten People\u201d of 2013 by Inside the Vatican magazine.\u00a0<\/strong>We have testified eight 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. Our efforts have been fruitful.\u00a0Both the European Parliament and the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women have issued statements condemning forced abortion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our International Advocacy Campaign has had a very successful year.\u00a0 We have advocated for years that the U.S. Government should defund International Planned Parenthood and the UNFPA, because of complicity with coercive population control in China.\u00a0 We are thrilled that President Trump listened to us and defunded them both!\u00a0 Also, I was honored to be a keynote speaker at the West Coast Walk for Life, for the Georgetown Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life, and for Dr. James Dobson.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers needs your support to continue.\u00a0We need to raise $50,000.00 to continue our work.<\/strong>\u00a0Please prayerfully consider partnering with us in fighting perhaps the greatest injustice of our age.<\/p>\n
