Tea at Trianon: Organ-Harvesting in China

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Organ-Harvesting in China

From Life News:

These horrific findings are further evidence of China’s complete disregard for the value of human life. Reggie Littlejohn has witnessed many abuses against women and children resulting from the Chinese government’s utter disregard for human life. She is the president and founder of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, an organization dedicated to ending forced abortion, gendercide and sex slavery in China.

“The Chinese Communist Party believe that people’s very bodies are in the domain of the state,” Littlejohn told LifeNews. “Whether it’s forcing women to abort babies or forcibly harvesting organs, the Chinese government believes that it owns people, including their very bodies, their internal organs.”

Her organization is helping to protect women and children from abuses resulting from the country’s brutal One Child Policy (recently changed to a Two-Child Policy). Family planning officials have jailed couples who refuse to comply with the policy, sentenced them to house arrest or labor camps, revoked jobs or governmental support, used physical harassment or violence, targeted other family members and even forced women to abort their unborn babies up to nine months of pregnancy.
