Steve Mosher is a recognized expert and researcher in social policy and China. He was educated at the University of Washington and at Stanford University.

There, he had access to government documents and actually witnessed women being forced to have abortions under the new “one-child policy.” Mr. Mosher was a pro-choice atheist at the time, but witnessing these traumatic abortions led him to reconsider his convictions and to eventually become a practicing, pro-life Roman Catholic.
