(CNSNews.com) -- In a statement released Wednesday, Reggie Littlejohn, founder and president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, criticized presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for stating that Communist China’s forced abortion policies are a thing of the past.
“With all her experience as former Secretary of State, it is untrue and deeply disappointing for Hillary Clinton to put the Chinese government’s practice of forced abortion in the past," said Littlejohn.
During the final presidential debate on Oct. 19, Clinton stated that she had visited countries such as China where the government used to force women to have abortions.
“I’ve been to countries where governments either forced women to have abortions like they used to do in China, or forced women to bear children like they used to do in Romania," she said.
Littlejohn challenged the statement made by Secretary Clinton stating, “If she thinks that China no longer forces women to abort babies, she should explain that to a couple, surnamed Zhong, who in August of this year were forced to choose between an abortion at eight months, or the loss of both their government jobs.”
“Or she should inform He Liping, who was forced either to pay an impossible “terror fine” of $39,000 or face abortion at six months,” said Littlejohn.
In August, Women’s Rights Without Frontiers reported the story of a couple who were forced to choose between aborting their baby or losing their government jobs because they had violated China’s new Two-Child Policy.
“They had thought that they were allowed to have another child, but were caught in an omission regarding remarried women in Guangdong Province. At the end of July, they were told to abort, or face fines and dismissal,” the report said.
“On August 1, she had an injection to terminate her daughter,” stated the report. “Two days later, she was induced and went through labor in order to deliver the still-born child. The next day she sent a heartbreaking message to the WeChat group of remarried couples in Guangdong, ‘I saw my daughter. She didn’t move. She was dead.’”

During Wednesday’s final debate, Clinton said, “And I can tell you that government has no business in the decisions that women make with their families in accordance with their faith, with medical advice. And I will stand up for that right.”
“The Chinese Communist Party has not agreed to get out of the bedrooms of the Chinese people,” Littlejohn said in the Wednesday press release. “And presidential candidates should not be stating or implying that they have. We need to keep the international pressure on the Chinese Communist Party until all coercive population control is eradicated.”
