		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/rights-so-divine/2011/sep/26/south-korea-stimulus-plan-sexism-and-human-traffic/">South Korea</a>: Unlike most other countries, credit card users in South Korea have no option to pay off their debt over months or even years. Instead, they must pay off the full balance in 30 days, which makes it easy for borrowers “paying 25% plus annual interest rates to fall behind.”  It is not uncommon for lenders to take possession or even repossess borrowers homes to pay their debts. When a poor woman like You Mi Kim, becomes delinquent, she often turns to private lenders for quick cash. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/10/27/south-korean-credit-policies-responsible-for-increased-trafficking-and-prostitution-in-the-u-s/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

We will stand by our Korean allies, says President Obama. And with our security treaty and 28,000 U.S. troops in South Korea, many on the DMZ, we can do no other.

It is about the plight of North Korean defectors attempting to escape from the brutal regime and the Christian missionaries who come to their aid . . . Sometimes, as Americans, it is easy for us to forget about or grow indifferent to the shocking loss of basic freedoms that millions of people endure around the world.  And as Christians, it is easy for us to take for granted the freedom we have in this country, and fail to take measures to protect it.  But as I’ve noted in a <a href="http://blog.speakupmovement.org/university/freedom-of-speech/eternal-vigilance-is-the-price-of-liberty/">previous post</a>, Thomas Jefferson was right when he said that 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.'" <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/05/20/heather-hacker-look-for-the-cross/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Currently we have about 680 listed members. Of course, Gynob is not an organization designed only to resolve the problem of abortion, but is intended to improve the distorted medical enviroment in which OB/GYNs work. It does not mean that all of the members of Gynob actively participate in Gynob activities. Our movement is led by a group of about 30 activists.'" <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/12/21/terminating-korea%e2%80%99s-abortion-culture/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
