NRCC chairman Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) on Sunday said that if Democrats want to make abortion an issue in their midterm election campaigns, Republicans will put them on defense for supporting extreme abortion-rights legislation, which he called a "Chinese genocide bill."
In an interview on Fox News, Emmer denied that the National Republican Congressional Committee is pressuring GOP candidates to distance themselves from pro-life statements they made in the primaries to appeal to moderate voters in the general election. The Washington Post reported on Aug. 30 that at least nine GOP congressional candidates have "scrubbed or amended references to Trump or abortion from their online profiles in recent months."
"I'm not going to repeat the way the Washington Post reports things," Emmer told Fox News host Mike Emmanuel on Sunday. “I trust our candidates to know their districts and know how they’re going to appeal to their voters, to the voters that are going to turn out in November and elect them to the next Congress.
"That being said, if Democrats want to make abortion the main issue when every poll we have seen says that the economy and the cost of living is the number one issue, good luck to them trying to defend their extreme position,” he continued.
"Every one of them voted for what I call the Chinese genocide bill, which would allow abortion up to moments before a child takes its first breath," Emmer said. "I think our candidates know how to message that and they'll be just fine in the midterms."

Emmer was referring to the Women's Health Protection Act, a Democratic bill that would codify abortion rights in federal law and override state abortion restrictions. Pro-life activists say the bill would effectively legalize abortion up to the moment of birth by repealing state laws and prohibiting new laws from being passed to regulate abortion and the abortion industry. Democrats say the bill creates needed protections for women's rights and access to "health care." The House voted 219-210 in July to pass the abortion rights bill, but it failed to advance in the Senate, where Republicans filibustered.
China infamously enacted a one-child policy in 1979 that prohibited families from having more than one child. The law led to forced abortions — and cultural preference for sons meant that millions of girls were killed in the womb. The Chinese government ended the policy in 2018, amid concerns there were not enough young people to care for the country's aging population.
With the elections nine weeks away, some Republicans have expressed concerns that backlash against the Supreme Court's groundbreaking June decision overturning Roe v. Wade has energized Democratic voters. Political prognosticators who spoke to the Associated Press predict that the GOP will only pick up 10 to 20 seats in the House of Representatives, handing them a narrow majority. They are also doubtful Republicans will win key Senate races needed to take control of the chamber or high-stakes gubernatorial contests in states like Arizona and Pennsylvania, where Donald Trump endorsed candidates who claim the 2020 presidential election was illegitimate.

After aborting nearly a half-billion children, communist China seeks to boost birth rate
Owing to the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) one-child policy, implemented in 1980, as well as to other correlated factors such as a decrease in the number of women of childbearing age and declining fertility, China faces a demographic crisis. The CCP is now, as a result, trying to reverse the damage its past policies have done.
Whereas in 1950, a year after the communists formally took power, China's fertility rate was 5.29, it now stands at 1.16. In other words, as of 2021, there were only 7.5 births per 1,000 people. Fewer than 10 million births are expected in 2022, down from an already historic low of 10.62 million last year.
Reuters reported that this fertility rate is far below the 2.1 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development standard for a stable population and constitutes one of the lowest in the world. The 2.1 figure is considered the standard because it reflects the average number of children required per woman for each generation to replace itself without a considerable influx of immigrants. The fertility rate for the U.S. in 2021 was 1.78.
In addition to discouraging abortion, the communist regime is now introducing financial and institutional support measures for prospective parents. These measures involve tax, housing, employment, and education aids as well as lowered kindergarten enrollment ages.
According to the CCP-controlled Global Times, the objective of this new initiative is to encourage couples to "have a third child" and to "push the government, institutions and individuals to fulfill their responsibilities in creating a friendly environment for marriage and fertility."
Unlike the communists' one-child policy, the new guidelines confer "preferential house-purchase policies to families with more than one child," along with premium education resources.
As the name suggests, the one-child policy prohibited Chinese families from having more than one child. Additional children who weren't forcefully aborted in utero or killed shortly after birth by the state or their parents were denied education and other state-provided services. Parents with more than one child were frequently fined, imprisoned, sterilized, or denied jobs.
Newsweek reported that as of 2021, there were 35 million more single men than women in China, largely owing to sex-selective abortion and infanticide prompted by the one-child policy.
According to the Pentagon's 2020 report on China, the CCP aims to expand its "national power, perfect its governance systems, and revise the international order" by 2049. Its low birth rate and median age (38.4 years) may prove a challenge.
