Horrors of one-child policy leave deep scars in Chinese society.

PO1 John Miller yep...I did start one....but my discussion was conveniently removed and made way for this one...and or another one similar. I remember when China first enacted this one child policy....In one way I could understand it. China is way over populated 100 fold...but in another way, I thought it was un fair.

Agreed. I understand the idea behind the one child policy but on the other hand I think that's way too much government involvement in a family's personal lives.

the part i couldnt get over was how the government thugs removed her by force and held her down to abort her child....absolutely barbaric.
How can anyone in this country possibly think communism is the way to go.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - Sergeant; Using the 2013 figures, the average household size in the US is 3.12 people and the mean number of persons under the age of eighteen in each household is 0.91.

In short, the US could institute a "one child" policy and still have room for more children. [I wouldn't recommend the "Chinese solution" but it would work quite well if each person were issued a 0.5 child permit when born and they could do whatever they wanted with them - use them or sell them. Of course, there would have to be some mechanism for enforcement because you simply can't have people "breeding without a license" or running around "breeding without due care and attention" or "breeding too fast".
