In reply to the discussion: Gross Overpopulation Is One Issue That Is Suicide For Any Politician To Address. We Are In Crisis. [View all]Duppers
(28,476 posts)I know a professor at Tongji University, Shanghai, who, after having one child, had her tubes tied. Even tho it was her decision, so as to not deal with b.c., she didn't like having to do so. She asked me why I had only one child and I laid it on the line: there are too many damn people for the planet to support. I told her the Chinese gov't's policy would help save the planet and that all countries should adopt the policy. She should've known that. She offended by my, and my hub's, disagreeable bluntness. I guess she thought we would be sympathetic.
Yes, I know Chinese women are quite traditional in wanting more than one child but my point is that, even in China, abortions are avoidable.
I cannot stress enough the fact that we face a much bigger crisis than unhappy marriages and denying women who want more children.
Wake up.
