I believe Sgt Kelli Mays may have started a similar discussion already. But I agree with the gist of it. Who the hell is a government to say how many children a couple can have?

This article is as bad as the harvesting human organs from political prisoners article I posted a few weeks ago. That's the kind of government some liberals think is best?? ( I said 'some' so as not to get group thrashed by staunch liberals on this site )
Give me freedom or give me death cause the alternative is pretty dam messed up IMO.

Actually it was a government did when faced with a massive over-population problem with insufficient resources to feed and educate that population. Now that China has the resources to support its population, the policy is being repealed.

At a rough count the number of aborted fetuses since the PRC instituted the policy is about the same as the population of the United States of America.

His wife was seven months pregnant with their second child when the group of people barged into his home and took her away. He followed them to the local hospital, where - against medical advice and despite his pleadings - they jammed a needle into her belly.

It's a lot worse than just the one-child-per-family rule. In China, it has traditionally been far more honorable to have a son rather than a daughter, so if a family can only have one child, they usually want a son. Over time, that has really skewed the population.

Imagine, if you will, 100 million sexually frustrated army-age men.

You have to give our government credit for creativity. Whereas the Chinese government controls its citizens by force, ours does it through guile. Our fearless leaders create crisis to imbue us with fear and stampede the herd in whatever direction them deem best. Global Climate Change is a classic example. However, both governments, in the end, desire the same thing: Control. We the People surrendered that long ago...

Studying birth order I find there are benefits to a diverse society of first borns, middle children, last borns, and those who are an only-child. China is finding that out, to their regret.
