WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- A new movement is stirring in the Roe vs. Wade community. "All Girls Allowed," a new organization devoted to mothers' and girls' rights in China, will pray with many passionate supporters at the Chinese Embassy today, calling out to God concerning the millions of babies aborted, killed and abandoned as a result of the One-Child Policy in China.
Event Details---
What: Candlelight Prayer Vigil for China's Girls and Mothers
Where: Chinese Embassy, Washington D.C.
When: Monday, Jan. 24, 2011, 4:30 p.m.
The prayer vigil for girls and mothers in China, led by Nobel Prize nominee and former top Tiananmen Square student leader Chai Ling (photo), has been added to this year's Roe v. Wade anniversary event line-up in D.C., as the movement to end forced abortions and gendercide in China gains support from both sides of the American debate.
Scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Chinese Embassy in D.C., the vigil will remind many of the millions of babies aborted, abandoned or killed because of China's one-child policy.
Even as both sides of the American abortion debate are busy demonstrating, celebrating, marching, praying and advocating, Chai Ling brings attention back to China, where daily forced abortions are taking place.
"Many great leaders are here in D.C. today focusing on rights: either to live or to choose. In China, neither right is given," says Ling. "Let's pray for the 35,000 babies a day in China who are not allowed to live, and for their parents, whose choices are unthinkably difficult in the midst of great pressure."
There are many documented cases of pregnant mothers being kidnapped, imprisoned and beaten, then forced to abort, as late-term as up to nine months. See this video for more information.
Ling continues, "Many people hear the words One-Child Policy and don't realize that it's another way of saying 'every other child must die.'"
"Because of the One-Child Policy, women are abused and girls are abandoned. We're here to lift up their cause to God." says Ling.
All Girls Allowed is a Boston-based organization with the mission to restore life, value and dignity to girls and mothers in China, and to expose the injustice of the One-Child Policy. More information, including how to get involved, can be found at the AGA website: www.allgirlsallowed.org.
