well China has its one child per family policy as a matter of "societal survival" which means having to allow birth control and abortion

much as there is to abhor about the Communist government, for many reasons, would it be better to allow millions of Chinese to starve instead? in the name of "principle"

sometimes principle and reality clash

A very serious unintended consequence of China's one child policy is a nation with a serious shortage of marriageable age women and a serious surplus of men who need wives. That does not encourage a stable future for China, and does encourage enormous emigration of Chinese men to other countries. It could also be argued that this surplus of men might make it easier for China to think in terms of war, if the leaders should want to annex more territory.

If Communism could be replaced with Freedom . . . would that solve the starving problem?
