In a new letter to the editor of the Napa Valley Register, Norman Fleishman wrote that, unless the U.S. enacts the Obama administration\u2019s health care plan and China\u2019s One Child Policy, \u201cthe world is doomed to strangle among the coils of pitiless exponential growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is inexcusable that someone in Fleishman\u2019s position should make such an appalling recommendation.\u00a0 As a former Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President, he is obligated to get his facts straight.<\/p>\n
China\u2019s One Child Policy causes more violence to women and girls than any other official policy on earth.\u00a0 It is China\u2019s war on women.\u00a0 It is enforced through forced abortion, forced sterilization and infanticide.\u00a0 It has led to gendercide, the sex-selective abortion of baby girls.\u00a0 Planned Parenthood should agree:\u00a0 whether you\u2019re pro-choice or pro-life, no one supports forced abortion, because it\u2019s not a choice.\u00a0 To watch a four minute video exposing the truth about forced abortion in China, click here:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org\/blog\/?p=219<\/a><\/p>\n In China, a woman\u2019s body is not her own.\u00a0 It is the domain of the state.\u00a0 The Chinese Communist Party functions as “womb police,” wielding the very power of life and death over women\u2019s wombs.\u00a0\u00a0 This is a terrible violation of both women’s rights and human rights. After 30 years of such a legacy, one thing is clear: it is time for the international community to rise up for the women and girls of China. \u00a0To sign a petition against forced abortion in China, click here: <\/a>http:\/\/www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org\/index.php?nav=sign_our_petition<\/a><\/p>\n Fleishman\u2019s recommendation that the United States adopt the One Child Policy brings into sharp focus the following issue, which Planned Parenthood must publicly resolve, since it is publicly funded.\u00a0 Does Planned Parenthood truly stand for \u201cchoice,\u201d or does it stand for population control, even if that means forced abortion?\u00a0 If Planned Parenthood stands for \u201cchoice,\u201d then why are they working hand in hand with the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s coercive population control machine?\u00a0 The IPPF website openly declares, \u201cThe China Family Planning<\/acronym> Association (CFPA) plays a very important role in China’s family planning<\/acronym> programme.\u00a0 It supports the present family planning<\/acronym> policy of the government, which is appropriate for the present national situation . . .\u201d http:\/\/www.ippf.org\/en\/Where\/cn.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n If Planned Parent really stands for \u201cchoice,\u201d they should oppose forced abortion in China, not seek to expand it to America.\u00a0 Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers calls upon Planned Parenthood immediately to repudiate Fleishman\u2019s remark \u2013 if they indeed disagree with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a new letter to the editor of the Napa Valley Register, Norman Fleishman wrote that, unless the U.S. enacts the Obama administration\u2019s health care plan and China\u2019s One Child Policy, \u201cthe world is doomed to strangle among the coils … Continue reading
