Kim Nam Jo born in Korea writes in the poem "My Baby Has No Name Yet" translated by Ko Won:
"My baby has no name yet;
like a new-born chick or a puppy
my baby is not named yet.
What numberless texts I examined
at dawn and night and evening over again!
But not one character did I find
which is as lovely as the child.
Starry field of the sky,
or heap of pearls in the depth.
Where can the name be found, how can I?
My baby has no name yet;
like an unnamed bluebird or white flowers
from the farthest land for the first,
I have no name for this baby of ours."
Many Chinese baby boys and baby girls didn't get a name before they were forcibly aborted. Since China's one-child policy was implemented in the 1970s more than 336 million babies have been killed by abortion; that's more Chinese baby boys and baby girls have lost their lives to abortion than the combined total population of the United States of America and Australia. Many babies in countries across the globe didn't get a name before they were aborted. In America since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion 55 million babies have been killed.
Chen Guangcheng, who became blind as a result of a childhood illness and now wears dark sunglasses, didn't start out speaking up for the unborn. A self-taught lawyer, Guangcheng, helped the disabled win public benefits and aided farmers fighting illegal land seizures. Guangcheng became internationally known for filing a 2005 law suit against a local government for forced abortions and forced sterilizations practiced as part of China’s one-child policy.
Guangcheng's lawsuit was rejected, and he was placed under house arrest in Shandong, China, with guards surrounding his house, his cell phone service cut off, access to the Internet blocked and bright lights shinning on his house at night.
Tejas is the name the Spanish gave to area that became the US state of Texas. The Spanish chose the name based on a Native American word for "friend."
Guangcheng had friends help him to escape from house arrest in April 2012 and to enter the US embassy in Beijing. A deal was worked out between China and the United States; now Guangcheng lives in New York with his wife, Yuan Weijing, and children.
On April 9, 2013, he testified before a subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee On Foreign Affairs about his family's and other people's persecution in China and other ongoing human rights abuses in China. Guangcheng gave Congress a list of 130,000 Chinese officials involved in forced abortions and forced sterilizations.
Guangcheng's house arrest in Shandong, China, meant that he could not leave his house and people couldn't come to him. During this time Actor Christian Bale tried to visit the activist to publicize his plight, but was prohibited by plain clothes Chinese security.
Andrew Jacobs of The New York Times with others attempted to visit Guangcheng when he was under house arrest. Jacobs was met by a man who swatted at his car with a broom and called for back up who detained Jacobs. The security back up took the reporters' camera and deleted their images. When Jacobs was driving out of town, he was followed by a car with the license plate covered over by paper.
Guangcheng's nephew, Chen Kegui, has been in jail after using knives to fend off local officials who burst into Kegui's home after Guangcheng's escape.
Chen Guangcheng said, "Recently, many friends and neighbors who I have been in touch with by phone have been taken into custody by the authorities for questioning. They have been threatened and made to describe what our conversations have been about," (January 29, 2013, Reuters article entitled "Blind dissident urges global pressure on China over rights" by Paul Eckert.)
When asked about having regrets on speaking out about forced abortions and forced sterilizations in China, Guangcheng told Anderson Cooper of CNN through an interpreter, "I have no regrets."
During an April 8, 2013, George W. Bush Institute interview Guangcheng recommended that Americans listen to various Chinese media to learn the ways that freedom of speech, the right to vote and the right to protest are missing in China and human rights violations are being committed.
"As long as there is one ... oppressed human being in this world the struggle la lucha continua," says Dr. Georgia McMurray, educator, writer, activist who had the progressively degenerative muscle disorder Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Guangcheng recommended in the George W. Bush Institute interview that once people are informed about the situation in China they can show support for life, freedom and human rights by wearing dark sunglasses like he wears, blogging or something else according to ability.
"Fear is a disease that eats away at logic and makes man inhuman," says Marian Anderson, singer and civil rights advocate.
Educator and Writer Elie Wiesel says, "Remember: silence helps the killer, never his victims."
No one healthy wants to be harmed or killed. Jesus Christ teaches in Matthew 7:12 Complete Jewish Bible, "“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that sums up the teaching of the Torah and the Prophets."
A Twi African proverb says, "Love is the greatest of all virtues."
God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost (1 X 1 X 1 = 1) is able to give us to strength to speak and to act in love. When we become creyentes (believers) we give up our life and God's life lives through us. Galatians 2:20 English Standard Version Bible says, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

Elderly, Disabled, Unborn, Strangers, Freedom, Love
Sometimes elderly African-American slaves were freed not as a favor but as a means to cut off the expense of providing food, clothing, shelter, etc. for those who were sick and/or disabled and could no longer produce at previous levels. Such was the case of elderly, married, slave couple James Baumfree and Mau Mau Bett Baumfree. The Baumfree's slavemaster, Charles Hardenbergh, became sick and died. What to do with his estate?
Since James Baumfree was sick and disabled he was freed, and his wife Mau Mau Bett was freed to take care of him. Hardenbergh also owned the Baumfree's children who were put on the auction block and sold to another slave master since they were young and could work much.
Hardenbergh was of Dutch heritage. He also spoke English, but deliberately did not allow his slaves to learn English, adding a layer of difficulty for his slaves to escape slavery since English is the primary language in America. So when Mau Mau Bett sought employment to support herself and her husband after they were freed from slavery her employment options were limited because she spoke Dutch instead of English. One day Mau Mau Bett went into a coma and died. James died of starvation because no one could take care of him after Mau Mau died.
No matter what age we are or what abilities we have or do not have, God loves us. God is good to His friends and even His enemies. Matthew 5:43-45 New Living Translation Bible says, "“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike."
An African proverb from Zaire says, "A kind person is the one who is kind to strangers."
Discrimination preys upon those who are strangers, sick, disabled, too young to speak up for themselves and others. The Nondiscrimination in Treatment Act of Oklahoma protects the elderly, seriously ill and disabled by preventing medical providers from denying individuals life-saving treatment based on their quality of life.
Sadly discrimination is widespread. In Frederick, Maryland, a young man, Robert Ethan Saylor, was killed in a movie theater in January 2013 because people didn't understand someone with Down Syndrome. Many unborn boys and girls are being discriminated against because of their place of residence and age. In America since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion 55 million babies have been killed. Since China's one-child policy was implemented in the 1970s more than 336 million babies have been killed by abortion; that's more Chinese baby boys and baby girls have lost their lives to abortion than the combined total population of the United States of America and Australia. And so many other people are being discriminated against.
Chen Guangcheng is helping to stop some discrimination. He became internationally known for filing a 2005 law suit against a local government for forced abortions and forced sterilizations practiced as part of China’s one-child policy. Guangcheng's lawsuit was rejected, and he was placed under house arrest in Shandong, China, with guards surrounding his house, his cell phone service cut off and bright lights shinning on his house at night.

A Japanese proverb says, "An evil act runs a thousand miles."
Discrimination, all types of abortion, involuntary sterilization and a lack of free speech are evil acts to be exposed, eliminated and replaced by the love of God. 1 John 4:7-11 Complete Jewish Bible says, "Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from God; and everyone who loves has God as his Father and knows God. Those who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah for our sins. Beloved friends, if this is how God loved us, we likewise ought to love one another."

Two and More Maasai Warriors Needed
Math and science can seen so challenging to pursue for various reasons. One reason is fear. Lose the fear. We need more Bible-believing, Bible living mathematicians and scientists.
God designed the vagina. Many husbands think constantly about this portal to paradise and can hardly wait to enter it.
Many wives welcome their husbands into their portal of paradise frequently, but are far less enthusiastic for medical instruments to be in their vaginas. A vaginal probe can determine a baby's heartbeat beginning with six weeks of pregnancy. Will someone please invent external methods of measuring a young baby's life in the womb?
Let's remove all masks covering truth and love. Both women and babies are human and deserving of respect. Ephesians 4:14-15 Amplified Bible says, "So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."
Sometimes students do not pursue math and science because of the fear of failure. Sometimes mathematicians and scientists do not perfect their work because of a fear of failure. Joyce Meyer writes in her article "Overcoming Fear with Faith How to Shed the Layers of Fear That Weigh Us Down" in the March/April 2013 magazine Enjoying Everyday Life, "I remember so many times in my life when I was so afraid of failing, but I would take a step of faith anyway. There were times when things worked out and times when they didn't. When that happens to you, you need to shake it off and move forward. Don't let the fear of making a mistake stop you.
We will experience failures in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at something doesn't make you a failure. Failure comes when you quit trying." Inventor Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Yes, we can remove all obstacles to evil. Abel Zavala sings in his song "Unanimes" on his album Jesus mi fiel amigo:
"Victoria hay en El
Mi Cristo derroto
Las huestes del mal
Victoria cantare
Mi libertad pago
Gritare!
Celebrare ante el rey."
Gunpowder was invented in China. We need some new ammunition to defeat the followers of evil. Some followers of evil want to pit mothers against their babies and use deceptive arguments to do so.
Believers already have victory in God the Son Jesus Christ. We have already defeated the enemy and his followers. We also have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 Amplified Bible says, "For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart."
The ammunition to detect a baby's life at the earliest stages of development with respect to their mothers is already in the mind of Christ. Since believers have the mind of Christ, the ammunition is already in our mind. It just needs to be extracted.
Mathematicians, scientists and all believers need to be masters in spiritual warfare. Satan doesn't want us to use our Christ mind; he want us to use reprobate and carnal thinking, so that his evil ways can reign. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 English Standard Version Bible says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ."
Abortion, the taking of the lives of boys and girls, will end when multiple people play their part in ending this evil. A Maasai of East Africa riddle asks:
"Who has more courage than a Maasai warrior?
Answer: "Two Maasai warriors."
