China’s Holocaust: 400 Million Dead in One-Child Policy
China’s One-Child Policy is an effective but controversial method of population control, particularly due to forced abortions. Come hear Steve Mosher of the Population Research Institute discuss the moral and physical implications of this policy.
7:00 PM Dec 4, 2012 @ Massengill Auditorium, Roanoke College.
Sponsored by Students for Life at Roanoke College.
Steven W. Mosher is a social scientist and writer who publishes books and essays on matters dealing with China. He speaks both Mandarin and Cantonese. He is the president of Virginia-based Population Research Institute, a pro-life organization that argues that overpopulation is a myth. The Institute has connections to Human Life International (both of which were started by Father Paul Marx). Mosher is father to nine children[1] and author of numerous non-fiction books such as “Broken Earth: The Rural Chinese” (1983), A Mother’s Ordeal, and Hegemon.
In 1979 Mosher became the first American research student to conduct anthropological research in rural China after the Cultural Revolution. At the time he was married to a woman from Guangdong province, and for several months between 1979 and 1980 lived in rural Guangdong. He also traveled to Guizhou,[2] a remote and rarely visited part of China. In 1981 Mosher was denied re-entry to China by the Chinese government, which claimed he had broken its laws and acted unethically.
