Many Chinese realize that big nuclear families cost much money to raise. So they have only a single child or two children. I reckon other races like Latinos and Africans still choose to have many children despite being too poor to raise them properly.

I agree that childless women deserve respect, as do men like you who choose to be childless and single.

You present the situation as if having one child was a deliberate choice in most Chinese families for all those years, while it wasn't in any way or shape whatsoever. Proof is lots of them decided to have a second child now that they are allowed to by the government, so they definitely didn't choose to only have one before.

I'm using the present tense in my original post. I'm not talking about the past. To clarify further, I think what happebed in China in those days to control the population was a very good thing.

I think that the current trend worldwide is for married couples to have fewer and fewer children. I hope this continues to happen.

I'm in favor of abortion.

EVERYTHING CRYSTAL CLEAR NOW?
