So far that hasn't happened. And of course communities that cannot defend themselves are in a difficult circumstance on the Nineveh Plain.

The attitude of the administration toward following laws just because they are laws is less than I think it ought to be.

I hope that is true. We will see.

Let me just say at the outset to my friend, the former Speaker for whom I have the highest regard, it is always appropriate to defend to the best extent possible the fragile lives of unborn children from the violence of abortion, and it is…

The U.S. must continue to advocate for the complete elimination of the One-Child policy.

It is time for American foreign policy to reflect American values.

The human rights violations associated with this policy are massive.

To the best of my knowledge under President Obama, almost one has been rendered inadmissible. It has been a gross failure of the Obama Administration not to enforce existing law, particularly on those in China who so brutally violate…

China's one child policy is state sponsored violence against women and children, including and especially the girl child, and constitutes massive crimes against humanity.

These human rights violators who act against humanity must be made accountable.

The United States Congress, along with the international community, should take all steps necessary to stop the inhumane cruelty of the Communist Party.

China has not 'eased,' 'relaxed' or 'abandoned' the One-Child Policy, Despite Reports.

I am grateful for this opportunity to testify here today, as we commemorate the 35th anniversary of China's brutal One Child Policy.

I do want to ask unanimous consent that Marco Rubio, who is the Cochair of our Commission, that his full opening statement be made a part of the record.

To hear people who claim to be in favor of women's rights defend the selection of a child in utero for extermination simply because she is a girl is the height of hypocrisy.

This is madness. The fact that the elites, especially, have refused--it's politically correct not to raise this issue.

Punishment, punishment, punishment. That's all we hear.

I hope our friends over at the press aisle will ask that question: Mr. President, why are you not enforcing this important law?

Yesterday, I chaired on the Global Magnitsky Act, which I am the prime sponsor of.

On the visa ban, we have a visa ban, and President Obama is not enforcing the law.

Where is the United Nations, their treaty bodies, whether it be the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights or the Human Rights Council, why have they been so silent?

Has our Nobel Peace Prize-winning President, President Obama, defended women and children from China's one-child-per-couple policy? I haven't heard it.

You have made such a powerful call that this is genocide, and I do hope that people in this city and in capitals all over the world, and at the United Nations recognize this for what it is: it is genocide, the systematic destruction.

I offered the first amendment to de-fund any organization, including the UN Population Fund [UNFPA], because of their complicity in these crimes against women, these crimes against humanity.

I understand other witnesses may say that the Chinese Government may never end the one-child policy, but you know what? They're not in control. God is!
