You are in error. China has a draconian one-child policy.


The Chinese government’s one-child policy has effectively reduced the country’s birth rate to well below replacement levels, triggering an impending demographic crisis, researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have found.

Beijing (AsiaNews) – Recent unrest in Guangxi is a sign that China’s population is less and less willing to put up with the one-child policy so much so that is ready to take to the streets. Many voices in the country’s scholarly community are also calling for a policy overhaul for the sake of society but also the economy.

Its no coincedence that socialists impose this kind of control on “their” masses. What greater power than that of life and death? Concentration camps are just an extension of the thought that human life is a drain on resources and the economy.

SgtYork, you are absolutely right.

It's funny the opinions you see flying around here, even amongst conservatives.

Some people are pro-life because they are at least humanists (they see humanity as a positive good) or even more, they see in the human being the image and likeness of God. (I'm in this group.)

Some people are what they call "pro-choice" (rather a misnomer because babies never choose to die)--- but concede this much, they want to leave every choice that affects family size in the hands of individual baby-disposers.

But some, even FReepers, approve of Population Control (usually some variation on "Why doesn't the government contracept all the teeming nonwhite hordes?") -- and population control has neither virtue. It does not respect human life, and it doesn't even respect individual choice.

As properly distinguished from "Family Planning" (by husbands and wives who are --- you know --- planning families) "Population Control" is government power using manipulation and coercion to use differential fertility as a political-economic weapon.

It is abusive of human dignity. It is is one of the things the Nazis were condemned for at Nuremberg. It has no place in a conservative agenda and, in my view, no place in a conservative forum.
