Abortion In China

Using propaganda to help the people of China to be aware of family planning has significantly help decrease China’s population. According to an article written by Davis Kingsley called “The Political Impact of New Population Trends”, by using propaganda China has help pushed its people to accept and embrace the One-Child Policy even if they have to resort to stretching the truth (pg. 7). By using drastic measures to help decrease population growth China has implanted deception to its people. According to Kingsley, the most shocking information that China’s health officials have given its people as to why postponing marriage is a good decision. Kingsley discover that China’s health officials state that intercourse before the age of mid-to late-twenties is detrimental to the development of the body (pg. 9). Though the use of propaganda to implement the One-Child Policy is significantly decreasing China’s population growth, the use of deception in China’s propaganda message is an unethical way for the government to play with its people ignorance and faith in the political system.

Since 1980, China has made its people the subject of an intrusive and unfair, One Child Policy. This policy was the result of Chinese officials becoming worried of the countries jump in population from 1960 to 1980 causing a widespread lack of resources, so they decided to induct a law that would make force Chinese citizens to be limited to one child. Because of this controversial policy the question has been raised, did the one child policy positively or negatively effect China? The one child policy did negatively effect China and its people, because it resulted in gender discrimination, unjust punishments and was unnecessary due to the already declining fertility rate.

The final reason that the one-child policy was a bad idea is because of the fact that China’s fertility rate was already decreasing and was one of the lowest rates compared to Brazil, South Korea, and Thailand in 1979 making the policy pointless and unnecessary. “The claim by the Chinese officials that the one child policy has helped avert over 400 million births simply cannot be substantiated by

With more than 1.3 billion people, China has to think about a solution and find ways to deal with its population explosion. In order to have control over population, in 1970, a policy named China’s One Child Policy was introduced. Mingliang argues that, “China, through the one-child policy, has instituted the most aggressive, comprehensive population policy in the world” (1). This policy limits all families in the Republic of China to have only one child, regardless of the sex: however, within this policy there are some exceptions. It is possible to have two children only if the first child is born with a disability, if parents work in a high risk job, if the couple lives in villages, or if the family is a non- Han, otherwise you are

There has been a long history of China’s one child policy, since it was first introduces in 1979 by a Chinese Leader Deng Xiaoping (Rosenberg n.p). The law was meant to be temporary and used to control the population; however it is still in use today (Rosenberg n.p). When the policy was first enforced, it only

Although the One-Child Policy in China had downfalls, the benefits overcome. In fact, many believe China’s One-Child Policy was not a good idea and had many flaws. I strongly believe China’s One-Child Policy was a sufficient theory in assisting environmental crises, strengthening feminine power, and revealing benefits of having singleton

In this world where people can acquire anything they need or want, we have to wonder, “Is the government controlling us?” Both the governments in A Brave New World and in the United States of America offer birth control pills and have abortion clinics that are available for everyone, thus making birth control pills and abortion operations very easy to acquire. Although both governments offer birth control pills and abortion clinics, A Brave New World’s government requires everyone to take the pills and immediately get an abortion when pregnant. This in turn shows us that A Brave New World’s government is controlling the population and the development of children. China is one of the few countries that currently have control of the

Due to the one-child policy there are many serious human rights infractions. Since the policy has been in effect, there have been more than 400 million prevented births ("China:

One of the more extreme measures taken in an attempt to control population has been China's one-child policy. Population advocate Garet Hardin suggests the rest of the world adopt similar policies. This paper is to show a country's government acting on theories that Hardin is popular for and the ethical and environmental effects that it had on people and the land. Hardin fails to see the ethical problems laid out by governments that suppress peoples thoughts and beliefs.

In our government the topic of abortion causes controversy between politics parties. Before the option of abortion came to place, if a woman was pregnant out of wedlock, they would move to another state and stay there until they gave birth. Another option those women had was adoption or allowed their bay to be raised by one of their relative member. Abortions didn’t become a prominent issue in society until about 1880, even then most states banned it except to save the life of the woman if she was in danger while giving birth caring the baby. Between 1967 and 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court found that a woman’s decision to terminate a pregnancy in the first trimester was protected under the “right of privacy…founded in the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty.”

“China Will Have another Major Demographic Problem,” is an article on About.com written by Matt Rosernberg. It explains the great imbalance between man and women due to China’s One Child Policy, and how this situation will disturb the stability and development of China because the high numbers of bachelors tend to damage community by doing crimes and violence. The policy says that a couple could only have a child. This was created as a temporary solution since China was overpopulated by 972 million people in 1979 (Rosenberg). Through years this policy is proven to reduce the population growth. However, there have been some unintended side effects. Not only did this policy create the gender imbalance, but also many other issues, such as: the high population of unmarried men, human trafficking, and the high rate of suicide.

The Malthusian Limit is an issue for absolutely everyone. There is no area that has completely no worries or no issues that is completely ridiculous we all have chaos and trouble whether we want to face it or not. Currently China suffers their massive water drought and now they must create a transfer project that diverts southern water north. Another big issue that is even worse than Americas issues was China's one child policy which limited the amount of children that one could have. The circumstances and laws are definitely not as harsh as China’s imagine only being able to have one would what if you don’t even like the child? Abortion is just wrong on so many levels so it’s obvious China had more of conflict. Anyways this law/prohibition

In 1948, China banned birth control and contraceptives because it wanted a larger population. In1930s-1960s, China’s population was growing faster than the food supply, which reached a population of more than 800 million in 1970s. In 1973, China started to promote birth control with the slogan, “Late, Long, Few” and introduced the one-child policy six years later. Forced abortion was the punishment to punish the ones who did not obey the policy and often, families chose to pay the local officials to “set them (the second child) free”. However, one-child policy is very

China had implemented one-child policy for about 35 years that affects China’s population declining. Moreover, aging population has been increasing; in this year they reach to 131 million, and will be many more in 2030, about 243 million. In addition, the policy also leads to the highest number of abortions in China because the cultural pressure makes the Chinese unwilling to have a female baby and they decide to abort her. As a developed country, China needs more workers for their big economic development; yet, Chinese workers, which are 15-64 years old, have been significantly decreasing because the majority of them are over-aged. To overcome the problems, the government of China deletes the one-child policy and replaced it to a new one that permits their citizens to have two children. However, the goverment has some obstacles in applying this policy. Mr. Liang said that even though

October 29, 2015, the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) state-run news agency Xinhua announces the government’s plan to end the iconic one-child policy initiated by Deng Xiaoping in the 1970s, allowing up to two children per family. Originally implemented to preserve economic growth from an excessively fast-growing population, this new move marks a watershed in China’s situation, confronted to a low female-to-male ratio and an aging population. Yet, despite massive dissuasion campaigns, fines, and forced abortions, flaws in the enforcement of this policy have given way to many means of bypassing the law. Some hospitals in Southern China propose fertility drugs designed for multiple birth, that is having twins, triplets or quadruplets
