A Mother’s Ordeal hailed as “brutally truthful.”
Population Research Institute has launched a new “activism
page” in conjunction with the publication of the second edition of
Steven Mosher’s book, A Mother’s Ordeal. A modern classic, the
book is a biography of a young one-child-policy enforcer in China. It
provides a raw and unflinching glimpse into life—and death—at the hands
of a Chinese government bent on curbing births in the most populous
country on earth. “Brutally truthful," said Elise Hilton in a new
review.
Anne Morse, PRI’s media coordinator, created the new page. She explains: “When I first read A Mother’s Ordeal,
I frequently had to pause and take a deep breath. The atrocities told
within its pages made my stomach churn. It made me want to do
something, and I knew that other readers would be motivated to take
action too. That’s why we created the activism page.”
The activism page includes three sections—each carefully
chosen to help people become effective activists for human rights in
China. The page includes petitions, volunteer pages, speakers, and
social media pages from all across the web. It also lists several
organizations that fight coercive population control, and tells how to
help these organizations. Finally, the page offers a series of quick
facts about the one-child policy and its effects, and includes
educational resources to help people become articulate defenders of
human life in China.
As Elise Hilton of the Acton Institute wrote in her review of the book, A Mother’s Ordeal
tells a reality that is “callous and brutal,” but goes on to say that,
“as difficult as this book is to read, it is important to do so.”
PRI hopes people will not only read A Mother’s Ordeal, but also visit the corresponding activism page. Help put an end to the horrors recounted in the book.
The
pro-life Population Research Institute is dedicated to ending human rights
abuses committed in the name of "family planning," and to ending
counter-productive social and economic paradigms premised on the myth of
"overpopulation." Find us at pop.org.
