Will Barack Obama Support China’s Coerced Abortion Policy?

 The argument from the pro-choice crowd on abortion is that the woman has the right to choose what she does to her body, but what happens when it is not the woman who has the right to choose? What happens when the government tells the woman that she must have an abortion?

 The policy in China is one family, one child. If a woman becomes pregnant she is “coerced” into having an abortion. This seems to go against the argument that a woman has the right to decide what to do with her body. This goes against the whole argument that the pro-death crowd uses to justify their position.

 Shortly after his election in 2000 President Bush denied $40 million in funding to the United Nations based on their support of China’s coerced abortion policy. Now a congresswoman is hopeful that President-elect Obama will reverse President Bush’s denial of the funds to the United Nations.

 I am not going to use this congresswoman’s words to indict Barack Obama, he hasn’t stated his position on this issue. But I am going to use this story to ask a question. If the issue of abortion is based on a woman’s right to choose than why would any pro-death choice person support China’s policy of coerced abortion? China is no giving the woman the right to chose, they are making the decision for.

 The answer to me is obvious. Any restriction on abortion is considered an attack on abortion. So the pro-choice crowd will defend partial birth abortion, where the baby is birthed until just the head is left in the uterus and then slaughtered, and they will also defend China’s government telling a woman that she must kill her baby.

 As long as the end result is an abortion the pro-choice crowd doesn’t give a damn. Any person who supports abortion under the argument that a woman has the right to choose what to do with her body should be opposed to China’s policy. Chin’s policy takes the choice away from the woman. Yet the pro-choice people want Obama to support China’s policy. This shows me that the pro-choice crowd doesn’t really care about a woman’s right to choose but would rather see more abortions just to insure that no restrictions are ever applied to the abortion trade.

 I urge President-elect Barack Obama to continue President Bush’s policy to withhold funding for this despicable program. I doubt that will happen though, as Barack Obama refused to vote against infanticide in Illinois.
