On May 30, 20 local Chinese officials dragged 23-yr-old pregnant mother Feng Jianmei from her home and held her three days for a 40,000 yuan ($6250) ransom before killing her seven-month-old baby en utero by lethal injection and delivering her tiny corpse after family failed to come up with the cash.

Feng and her husband Deng Jiayuan had failed to complete the proper paperwork required for rural families to have a second child. They already had a six-yr-old daughter.

On June 11 photographs taken by Feng’s cousin of Feng next to her murdered baby appeared on the Internet, with International outrage ensuing. This video news report alleges the photo itself was posted by Family Planning Officials, perhaps as a “warning” to other families of what happens when families do not comply with the law. According to USA Today:

In years past, Feng’s forced abortion would have happened with little public reaction, but Internet-based social media tools allow individual Chinese to take their stories directly to the people and are forcing the government to address complaints.

As of Thursday, comments on Feng’s abortion neared 1 million on the Twitter-like microblog site Sina Weibo.

According to ABC, all stories mentioning Feng have now been scrubbed in China.

Meanwhile, government authorities, who at first denied any wrong-doing, finally admitted “the abortion was illegal,” according to The Daily Telegraph, which also reported:

“At the hospital they held her down,” said Mr Deng to All Girls Allowed, a Christian organisation in the United States that campaigns against the One Child policy. “They covered her head with a pillowcase. She could not do anything because they were restraining her,” he added. He said his wife had tried to kill herself after the abortion.

Mrs Feng told All Girls Allowed that she could “feel the baby jumping around inside me all the time, but then she went still”….

Chai Ling, of All Girls Allowed, said officials had “launched a campaign of forced abortions”. Li Yuongjiou, of Ankang’s family planning department, told Caixin, a magazine, that the town had missed its targets under the One Child policy for two years, and this year there was an emphasis on stricter enforcement.

According to ABC News, the distraught Feng slit her wrists. MSNBC reported last night that “three officials would be relieved of their duties” in the wake of the murder and that a deputy mayor had apologized to the couple. A lot of good that will do.

The Susan B. Anthony List is calling on President Obama to condemn China’s One-Child forced abortion/sterilization policy and to immediately cut off funding to the United Nations Population Fund, which helps facilitate China’s horrific family planning program. Both Presidents Obama and Clinton reinstated funding to UNFPA after Presidents G.W. Bush and Reagan cut it off. Under Obama’s watch the U.S. has given $145 million to UNFPA, and he has requested another $47 million in his 2012 budget.

But vocal opposition from Obama may be slow to come, since China holds the largest share, 26%, of the United States’ $15.77 trillion debt.

Meanwhile, if any U.S. feminist or abortion groups are outraged by the forced denial of Feng’s “choice,” I can’t find evidence.

I guess when you’ve got nothing to say, the old slut shaming is the best you can do….

And btw, Gutfeld was given pride of place, for the last remark, on the blog run by anti-choice crazy Jill Stanek.

Modern technology is giving us ever more fascinating windows into the womb, whether it be 4-D ultrasound or this MRI look at twins from New Scientist.

What do you think will be most persuasive in changing people’s hearts and minds? Images such as these, or those of aborted children?

In short, will it be shock or awe? Or do both have their place?

Again and again I see young social justice-focused evangelicals abandoning any effective voice for the unborn for the sake of an ephemeral, culturally-fashionable concept that as a practical matter means little more than advocating a utopian ideal through a grab-bag of banal, functionally socialist policies. Moreover, the embrace of social justice often drives them functionally into the arms of a political party and political movements that are dedicated to protecting and even subsidizing the “right” to kill children on a vast, industrial scale….

Oh, you may claim to be pro life even as you work diligently to maintain and increase the power of those individuals and institutions that advance and protect our abortion regime, but you’ve made your choice in the real world.

Today Live Action released its fourth video investigating sex-selection abortion at nationwide Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation clinics.

This sting focused on two Planned Parenthoods in Hawaii, and just as with the others, staff condoned sex-selection abortions.

At the Maui Planned Parenthood, counselor Leslie Watson told the investigator there should be no judgement but rather, accommodation, for sex-selection abortions: “This is your reason and this is your situation. So they should be accommodating because this can help you determine and it’s nobody’s business and nobody’s reason but yours.”

In Honolulu, Planned Parenthood counselor Rogue told the investigator serial abortions of girl babies are okay as long as the abortions are spaced properly.

Rogue added that a mother can get her sex-selection abortion completely funded via the state Medicaid-funded Quest Hawai’i program.

The word “aloha” in Hawaii means both hello and good-bye. Hawaiian Planned Parenthoods give new meaning to “The Aloha State” when it comes to baby girls.

On June 5 Voice of Choice’s Todd Stave received an email complaining that pro-life activist Tony Massey was harassing caterers delivering orders from Udi’s Foods in Denver to the Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains mega-abortion clinic.

The reason I know the date Stave received that email is because in actuality it came from Tony, who decided to conduct a little reconnaissance mission to test Voice of Choice’s potency.

As I’ve written previously (here, here, and here) Stave launched Voice of Choice last fall to retaliate against pro-lifers who protest at abortion clinics and homes of abortionists. To that end Stave distributes personal information of targeted pro-lifers to abortion proponents with encouragement to harass them.

For this Stave has garnered accolades from the Washington Post, Rachel Maddow, and Howard Stern. In March NARAL bestowed Todd with the Jan Yanehiro Speak Out for Choice Award.

Last October Stave launched “The Denver Project,” because those vociferous pro-lifers in the Mile High City are particularly onerous to the other side. After targeting seven of our activists, Stave claimed two weeks later:

Today, as a result of thousands Voice of Choice volunteers, the active protesters in Denver number HALF their ranks….

In reality, the seven received an average of 32 calls each, which they actually thrived on:

Imagine our delight when we realized that the lost were calling us!  What an awesome opportunity to share the gospel along with the truth about abortion.  Answering the phone is much easier than standing on the street or going door to door.  One woman who called admitted that she believes that late term abortion is murder.  She had no idea that Todd Stave rents to a late term abortionist.  Dozens of people, who otherwise would not have heard the gospel, heard it today, thanks to Todd Stave.  There is just one problem; some of the Denver pro lifers that didn’t make the list are upset.  They want in on the phone witnessing bonanza too.

I know these pro-life activists and can verify they would relish calls from abortion proponents. Stave knew they could be very persuasive, which is why he specified, “DO NOT ARGUE WITH THEM,” i.e., do not trust your pro-abortion ideology enough to engage the other side.

So most certainly pro-life numbers did not shrink. I’m told on average 5-6 pro-lifers protest at the Denver mill Monday through Friday, with anywhere from 20-300 Catholics, depending on the occasion, praying there on Saturdays. Here’s a photo of the core group in January…

But back to Tony. He was upset about Stave’s mischaracterization of the results of his “Denver Project,” which is what prompted his undercover sting via alias “Brandie McMillian.”

Stave did not verify Brandie’s authenticity, and on June 7 wrote the pseudo-Udi’s employee that the following email was being sent to “10k people,” which I, as one of the 10k, did indeed receive…

… and also tweeted:

One of the phone numbers was wrong, but whatever. Bottom line is as of yesterday Tony had received a whopping 18 calls, and four of them came from pro-lifers wishing him well. The video of Tony’s that Stave reposted has been viewed only 109 times:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCt531vEGW8[/youtube]

I’m not sure why Stave posted the video. The only notoriety it brings is upon Udi’s and Planned Parenthood, certainly not pro-lifers. Pro-lifers want the world to hear Tony’s messages.

And I doubt Udi’s is anxious for this kind of publicity, since one of its divisions was coincidentally bought out by Smart Balance on June 1.  I’m sure if Todd had bothered to ask  Udi’s, it would have told him not to do what he did. I expect the last thing either Udi’s or Smart Balance wants is to have links connecting Udi’s to the abortion giant pop up first on Google.

Kudos to Tony Massey for his willingness to take heat to expose a ruse.

While many have put Madonna’s exposure down to her pursuit of grabbing headlines, some Twitter fans have said her actions spoke to Turkish women who are currently in protest of the Prime Minister’s call to ban abortion and C-sections.

Abortion has been legal in Turkey for almost 40 years, albeit only for pregnancies up to 10 weeks and emergency abortions for medical complications that occur after that. Now, Erdogan proposes that the procedure be banned altogether, unless there is a medical emergency within eight weeks of conception.
