Your Womb or your Family......

I don't know the right answer here but I think that part of the answer is in the word "control". Someone has to do it otherwise there will be too many babies, not enough food, not enough money and bingo, a third world country. Some one, some body, has to step up and take responsibility for the control of this situation or things will get out of hand. Limiting families/births is much better in my eyes than numerous abortions or countless children who are starving or malnourished and are left neglected and probably uneducated in the long term.

and the Liberals want to know what is wrong with Communism...

In one pregnancy a lady could have twins so I hope that this is understood. A lady might have one child and then get pregnant by surprise. I imagine she would have to hide her bump and get her second baby adopted. The other choice would be having her second baby aborted so that would be horrible. I wouldn't want to get sterilized and think them asking the ladies to do this is awful. It is nasty to lock another relative up until the lady says yes to this. Ladies in factories showing used sanitary towels is sick. Ladies in that area of China should be able to control their own wombs. The Chinese Government can be very harsh. Maybe the Chinese government could give money to ladies that don't want to have a child. Then it would be fine if some ladies had a second child through a surprise pregnancy. I think that females should be as valuable as males.

hi pikefish at first I sort of endorsed the one child policy but readingt this I think they are going why beyond even common sense as they are now looking at wopmen as less than hum. the idea of forcing a woman to be sterilized and also t aking away any vestige of privacy that is outrageous. The idea of making them show their ' pads to prove they are menstruating is horrible. oh I am so glad I was born in the US where women are shown a lot more respect.China is' in other words completely communist and women have few rights. women there should band together and start saying I am mad as hell and I woon't take this anymore.

Well China is a communist country and the government owns the people. They can make laws according to the welfare of their country and they can do even harsh rules to keep everything in place. I am so lucky not to live in a country where women are given much freedom in all the things that we do and women are even put in a pedestal or equally with men.

This is a long time issue. I respect them as its their policy just before I was born. However, its really not good to have a policy of only one child. It deprived our freedoms as a human being. It prevents us to bore how many children we want. However, taking a look in some cases, some people do not even plan for their future that makes them poorer. Its like more demand than supply. So which is which. But if a women is already pregnant. What can we do. Its already in her womb. Are we gonna punish them just like criminals who kills? who robs?

You have to understand how China thinks--they prize sons above daughters and that's why, I think, they have so many children. Or did. They have a real problem now with many more men than women and men can't find wives. I don't agree with putting a limit on the number of children. If they want to reduce their population they have to educate the people on the advantages of small families. But I don't agree with dictating how many children a woman can have. It's ironic that we in the U.S. are appalled at China's one child policy and forced abortions, yet we murder millions of babies each year through legal abortion. We even encourage and applaud it. Yet we condemn China for trying to control its population. No country can control its population through legislation. Education, availability of birth control and taxing families with more children would probably work better.

If it is the law of the country, they have to obey it, in india, in my time, lol i was married in 1968, the slogan was for 3 children maximum, next it was, 'we 2 out 2', but now many go for just one.. Thank you so much for sharing. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead.
