"The nurses dealt with the body like it was rubbish," Wei said. "They wrapped it up in a black plastic bag and threw it in the trash."

I listened to this story on NPR: Morning Edition, on Monday. Please take time to listen to the story. Use this link. Here is print from a news release I found on WorldNetDaily:

Dozens of unborn babies have been killed in a sweep by Chinese authorities of the Guangxi province that snared pregnant women and brought them against their will to a hospital for fatal abortion injections, according to a Christian ministry that monitors the district and ministers to those in need.

"After 41 women were forced to have abortions on [Tuesday], China Aid Association has learned that the Youjiang District People's Hospital of Baise City performed forced abortions for at least 20 more pregnant women on [Wednesday]," an alert from the organization said.

China Aid, which has its U.S. offices in Midland, Texas, confirmed that eyewitnesses are reporting that the latest roundup of pregnant women involved more than 20, who were transported to a hospital by government "Family Planning" authorities.

"Within 30 minutes, about 10 of them were injected forcefully for an abortion. This means within [the] last 24 hours, at least 61 babies were killed by forced abortions," the sources within China told CAA.

"At bed Number 37, Ms. He Caigan was nine months pregnant. Officials injected her baby's head and 20 minutes later, her baby stopped moving and died," the sources confirmed.

Many of those targeted in the killing rampage were Christians, CAA said.

"About 6 a.m. on [Wednesday], Pastor James Liang's wife Ms. Wei Linrong gave birth to a boy, but he was dead because of the injection. She received three injections – one is to induce the birth and the other two to kill the baby in the womb," CAA's sources reported.

Liang formerly was a pastor in the government-sanctioned Three-Self church before he became a House church pastor a year ago, according to information from China Aid Association's Bob Fu. Eyewitnesses told CAA that the couple wanted to keep their child because of their Christian faith.

Officers from the government surrounded the section of the hospital where the women were being held, the report said.

"CAA urges the international community to register your protest and concern with letters and phone calls to the chairman of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, Party Secretary of Baise City, Mr. Liang Chunlu, and the Youjiang District People's Hospital," CAA said.

The Population Research Institute's research earlier indicated in the past the United Nation's Population Fund, into which the United States had poured money, actually has assisted Chinese government efforts to force married couples to have only one or two children.

China maintains, at least in some areas of the country, a one-child policy sometimes enforced through a policy of forced abortions. It is believed China performs some 10 million involuntary abortions a year.

First exposed by WND in 1997, what has come to be known as "gendercide" in China – due to a cultural preference for boys – has resulted in the deaths of at least 50 million girls.

In searching out the particulars of this story, I have found some interesting things. In 2002, President Bush denied the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) some 34 million dollars which had been appropriated by the U.S. Congress. The President continued to deny funds to the UNFPA for several years. The denial of funds was based on the fact that the UNFPA monies would go to China's Family Planning Commission- the perpetrators of forced abortions. I find the statements of Ms. Thoraya Obaid, the Executive Director of UNFPA, to be ironic, when considering that her organization's involvement in China permits even more forced abortions to occur. Ms. Obaid made claims that UNFPA involvement in China did not encourage abortion. What will the UNFPA have to say now? So far, they seem to be avoiding the issue altogether. A search of all news stories, featured stories, statements, etc. for the week of April 20, 2007 on the UNFPA website garnered nothing on the subject of China or forced abortions.

Please pray for Pastor Liang Yage and his wife, Wei Linrong of Baise City, Guangxi Province, China. Pray for all of the mothers whose children were murdered in their wombs by the Communist People's Republic of China. Pray for He Caigan, whose 9 month old child was mere days from birth, but was killed by Communist Party officials who missed their "family planning targets last year". The birth rate was 13.61%. The Communist Party goal was 13.5%. Chairman Wei Qing Zhang's job is on the line after all...

Keep the population low for the betterment of China?

I'm looking into how I can help our brothers and sisters in China. Here are a few groups who have been looking out for the oppressed in China longer than I have.
