Mr. Speaker. I come before the House today to urge Members to support H.R. 2570. the Forced Abortion Condemnation Act. This bill would deny a visa to any Chinese official who carries out forced abortion or sterilization and condemns those in the Chinese Communist Party who oversee and enforce this process. Women all over China are victimized daily due to their ability and desire to bear children. I would like to share just one story with my colleagues today that I believe demonstrates the need for this bill. When Steven Mosher. a Ph.D. candidate at the time. attended a family planning meeting at Equality Commune in China. he observed some of these coercive procedures.
