Today comes the story of a funeral held in China for a nine year old victim of the May earthquake. The victim was Mao Mao - a panda.Don't get me wrong. I'm no panda-hater and I have no problem mourning the loss of an endangered species. But a little perspective is needed.
China has a government policy allowing married couples to have one, and only one, child. To maintain this rigid policy, China forces women to have abort their babies as late as nine months into the pregnancy. And the aborted babies are discarded like trash. (If you think I'm exaggerating, take a look at this story from National Public Radio.)
Wouldn't it be nice if China showed as much respect for human life as they did today for an unfortunate panda?

Communism does not value human life, and this funeral for the Panda is an outrage!
The Chinese government tries to hide the fact, but they also kill babies after they have been born to women who break the one child rule!
Several years ago, in Reader's Digest, I read a story written by a Chinese woman doctor, who defected to America years after witnessing murders of newly born babies in the hospital, and being expected to commit them.
Her first time witnessing this horror, was a woman whom after giving birth to her second child, was pleading for her baby's life. No other doctor was in the hospital at the time, so this new doctor was told to kill the baby by injecting it in the head.
When refusing to kill the baby, she was threatened, and then a nurse was assigned to commit the murder. This courageous doctor, asked if this mother's baby could live in place of the one baby she would one day be allowed to have. They refused, and the nurse cooly killed the baby.
This doctor later defected to America, after refusing to partake, and witnessing the murder of other newly born babies. She was able to save one, after they accepted the swap of her future child for the woman's child.
If Obama is elected president and destroys our free enterprise health care by socializing medicine, forced abortions could be down the road for us!
Many people want a "free" ride, and the thought of our BIG Government giving us "free" healthcare is appealing to them. They refuse to believe we could end up with very inadequate care as Canada and European countries.
Nothing is FREE, and by giving more control to our Government, we give up our fought for freedoms!
That account of the doctor from China is truly appalling. I wish that it surprised me. I also hope that some of us will be able to put the brakes on the dire consequences of an Obama presidency. Stay vigilant!
wow ... im sorry people just want to help an endangered species. im just happy someone is doing something for the panda! i think china has shown respect for human life!!!! the aborted baby thing is they just have to keep the amount of babies down!
