My birth with my daughter was a very memorable one. I did not have any of the hard labors that many women speak of. I had her naturally with no pain medications. I did not even know that I was in labor. I started to see blood which made me nervous when I reached the hospital they told me I was in labor. By the time I reached a room my water had broke and twenty three minutes later my daughter was born.
China's one child policy was established by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 to limit communist China's population growth. Although designated a "temporary measure," it continues a quarter-century after its establishment. The policy limits couples to one child. Fines, pressures to abort a pregnancy, and even forced sterilization accompanied second or subsequent pregnancies. (Rosenburg, 2012, pg.1).
I cant imagine the restriction of having one child. Life is an opportunity that should be granted at the women's discretion. The choice to create a family and determine the family size should be discussed amongst the man and woman not the country leader.
