Hodari’s Womancare clinic in Southgate is also for sale.
Maybe he needs some cash to pay for all his legal troubles….
Also, federal dollars are prohibited from subsidizing private plans that cover abortion. Private plans participating in the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program cannot offer coverage of abortion because the plans are subsidized by the government (and, thus, by taxpayer funds). In other words, federal employees cannot purchase an insurance plan that includes abortion coverage.
Late-term abortions are problematic, but the Chinese are nothing if not efficient. On one Web site for Chinese obstetricians and gynecologists, doctors recently traded tips in a dispassionate discussion titled: “What if the infant is still alive after induced labor?” ChinaAid provided a translation of a thread regarding an eight-month-old fetus that survived the procedure.
“Xuexia” wrote: “Actually, you should have punctured the fetus’ skull.” Another poster, “Damohuyang,” wrote that most late-term infants died during induced labor, some lived and “would be left in trash cans. Some of them could still live for one to two days.”
Parker also quotes Reggie Littlejohn, founder and president of the Women’s Rights Without Frontiers group, who said that China’s one-child policy “causes more violence against women and girls than any other official policy on Earth.” Parker continues:
Littlejohn hopes Obama will “truly represent American values, including our strong commitment to human rights.” She is also calling on Planned Parenthood and NARAL to speak up for reproductive choice in China.
On this much, both sides of the abortion issue can agree: Forced abortion is not a choice. Averting our gaze from China’s horrific abuse of women is.

Kudos to Littlejohn for working on the ground and trying to do the right thing. But she’s being naive: no abortion-rights organization is ever going to support her efforts. That would mean acknowledging the brutality of late-term abortion.

Well, gosh. To all those pro-choicers that insist that this never really happens – It does!!
Our President Obama (as a Senator) voted against a law that would have made it a criminal offense for the abortionist to “finish the job” by killing the born baby. (My paraphrasing.) How was that a good decision? You got me…..
Ugh, that little exchange (translated from Chinese) about late-term abortion was absolutely sickening.
I’m glad I was not born (or un-born) in China. The one-child policy would be absolutely horrible to live under.

I think it would be very lonely for children, and difficult as you said – to grow up with no perspective but your own. When the parents age, it will be harder with only one child to take care of them.
I am reminded of the African proverb that the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the next best time is today.
I wonder what will happen when China’s population reaches the point where there are two elderly persons for each working adult.
Like trees, children are best “planted” 20 years ago, for the sake of social stability and economic growth. Many nations, especially in Europe, are already seeing the results of a generation that has produced children below the replacement rate. China’s time is coming too, perhaps sooner than we realise.

Given the lack of commentary here, it appears he won’t be missed.
(I wonder if he’s moving elsewhere?)
Praise God for miracles.
