Just as the Nazi genocide resulted in the wholesale murder of millions of innocent Jews, Gypsies, Poles and homosexuals, gendercide now takes millions of female lives in the country of China. Government-ordered abortions of female fetuses are enforced by Family-Planning Police who routinely arrest pregnant women on the street and deliver them to abortionists.
Things aren’t much better in populous India, where one girl is born for every two boys.
More than 160 million females have been eliminated from Asia’s population owing to sex-selective abortion, according to Feminists for Non-Violent Choices.
L’pool woman active
Christina Fadden-Fitch of Liverpool is a member of the Rochester-based group that’s presently conducting a campaign to promote non-violence. People from all walks of life in 120 cities from Hawaii to Maine are publicly discussing U.S. warfare, the devastation of the environment and violence to women and children; ffnvc.org.
“These traditionally separate movements are joining together to tackle many kinds of violence that now threaten our world,” said Fadden-Fitch, a former candidate for state assembly who has long been a pro-life advocate in New York state.
Last week Chris helped coordinate the Sept. 22 appearance of San Francisco-based attorney Reggie Littlejohn at Syracuse University’s Schine Center. An international expert on the effect of China’s One Child Policy, Littlejohn is president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers. WRWF has been called the “leading voice” in the battle to expose gendercide, or the sex-selective abortion of baby girls which has caused a major global male/female imbalance in some Asian countries. She has testified six times at the U.S. Congress and three times at the European Parliament.
Males preferred
China’s culture has a strong preference for males, Littlejohn said. Because of their one-child policy, couples will selectively abort females until the desired male is conceived. Not only are sex-selective abortions enforced in China, she said, but sterilization of fertile women is common and female suicides are rampant.
“Forced abortions keep the Chinese communists in power,” Littlejohn said. “In the beginning, the one-child policy was about zero population growth, but terror has now become the purpose of the policy.
The Chinese Family-Planning Police, she said, are no more than domestic terrorists who enjoy immunity from prosecution. Not only do these “police officers” enforce abortions, they also forcibly check women of child-bearing age for required intrauterine devices and often track a woman’s menstrual cycles.
The imbalanced ratio of men to women in Asia has led to a proliferation of prostitution, because millions of men of marriageable age are unable to find a spouse.
“I’m convinced that this is social control masquerading as population control,” Littlejohn told her SU audience of about 60 listeners.
Zogg sale a surprise
Liverpool Mayor Gary White was surprised to hear that the Zogg Building has been sold. On Sept. 10, Joe Frega, chairman of the Liverpool Community Church’s Exit Committee, informed village officials that the historic structure at 800 Fourth St. had been purchased by Dr. Pramote Nakornthab, a retired Cornell University professor originally from Thailand.
“We were left out in the dark a little bit,” White commented at the Sept. 15 village board meeting. “We’re still not completely up to speed as to what their intent is.”
The new owner of the 86-year-old former high school reportedly plans to establish a prep school there for prospective college students.
Crossing guard needed
Here at home, our school kids need some help getting across the road.
Longtime substitute crossing guard Tim Gangemi reports that a full-time crossing guard is now needed on Route 370 (Second Street) at the entrance of Liverpool Elementary School, for one hour in the morning and another hour in the afternoon.
Interested persons should contact Liverpool Police Clerk Brenda Giacchi, at 457-0753.
Dot likes Clarence
Dot Shuler, who lived in Liverpool for many decades on Sargent Lane, now calls Clarence home.
The matriarch of one of the village’s most vibrant families now resides in Clarence, near Buffalo, with her daughter, Mary, and Mary’s husband, Andy Pellitieri.
Café Kubal Cicero
Last weekend the Saturday Harvest Market promoted local products at the Green Planet Grocery, at Lakeview Heights Plaza on Route 31, in Cicero. And here’s a plus: the grocery is the first Green Planet with a full-service Café Kubal. Gotta love that dark Sumatra blend; 778-8744.
