This policy is a crime against women and children. it is an affront to the most fundamental of all rights. the right to life itself. Even Secretary of State Christopher called this coercive policy "really very abhorrent." Yet even with all the evidence. the Chinese Government continues to say that this policy is completely voluntary. If this were true. there would not be so many Chinese seeking asylum in the West so that they can escape this abuse. The Chinese Government not only controls the bodies of its citizens through this coercive birth quota policy. it attempts to control the minds and beliefs of its people through religious discrimination and persecution. Last week I submitted for the RECORD a list of over 100 men and women. mostly Catholic and Protestant clergy who are currently in prison. being detained. or suffering harassment at the hands of the Chinese Government.
