Mary Lou Greenberg, the director of the "escort" program for Choices Women’s Medical Center, and the state’s own witness against pro-lifers, praises mass-murderer Mao Zedong in a video on C-Span. In addition to her work with the abortion clinic, Greenberg has been the long-time spokesperson for the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, which advocates the violent overthrow of the United States. Greenberg is one of the witnesses in the crumbling lawsuit against 13 pro-life sidewalk counselors brought by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Greenberg testified against Liberty Counsel’s client, Scott Fitchett, Jr., but retracted her statements when Liberty Counsel produced evidence that she was lying.

In the video, Greenburg says of Mao Zedong's birthday, "This is a very special day, an [sic] historic day, filled with international significance" and that her revolutionary communist friends are "marking this day in grand and festive ways." She claims that Mao’s international birthday celebrations "including our own here today in the belly of the imperialist monster, are not nostalgic looks backward. Rather… these events signify a profound advance in the international revolutionary movement." Greenburg visited China in 1971 and, "saw a new society coming into being, a flesh and blood reality… It was the reddest, most inspiring, most invigorating society on earth. When I saw it, I vowed to dedicate my life to doing all I can to bring that world into existence for all of humanity." Read the full transcript of her comments with time codes from the video on December 28, 1993. She advocates that Mao is the most significant revolutionary of all time.

But Mao Zedong was the greatest mass murderer in the 20^th century. He established forced labor camps enslaving 50 million people and killing 20 million of them. During this time, some Chinese villages lost half their population to starvation caused by government mismanagement. Mao targeted intellectuals, boasting that one of his accomplishments was burying alive 46,000 scholars. His young followers would beat to death and cannibalize professors they found. In total, Mao caused the deaths of 65 million people, according to the Heritage Foundation.

The deception, outright lies, cover-ups and sordid connections characterizing Schneiderman’s attempt to silence peaceful pro-life speech in New York is appalling. That the state would use a revolutionary communist who advocates the violent overthrow of the United States and who lies on the stand to silence lawful speech is a shocking abuse of power.
