The Importance Of Having Children In The United States

Using a 2-child rule, we will eventually, yet very slowly, reduce the population. By reducing the population we will have more access to benefits for the entire population.

Over population is an extremely serious problem facing the world today. According to an article from Newsweek in Oct. 2009 called “Where do babies come from?”, today’s world population has reached over 6.6 billion people. Also the article mentioned that in 2009 57.4% of all new born babies who were born this year came from Asia alone. This is an issue because over population can lead to hasty consumption of resources. China who has one of the largest population in the world with over 1.3 billion people, has taken a stance against over population.

In the past thirty years the number of incarcerated women in the United States increased by 646%, it is estimated that 6-10% of these women were pregnant at intake. “An Examination of Care Practices of Pregnant Women Incarcerated in Jail Facilities in the United States,” is a study that examined the pregnancy related accommodation and health care provided for regional jail populations. Prior to this study no other study examined regional jail populations, they strictly focused on prison populations. This study is a quantitative survey of common practices and policies implemented across 53 jail facilities in the United States as a function of geographic region. This survey was administered through phone or email to employees

One Reason the policy should be ended is that is a violation of rights. Why should the government be allowed to control the number of kids born in a family? It is also not right for the government to punish people for having an addition child. Fines, abortions, sterilization, and infanticide are being used

One reason I have this view is, many times large families with multiple children resources and stability are challenges. The One-Child Policy gave only child children a chance at complete attention and resources needed to thrive. For example, “‘I really appreciate being the one child, especially from the countryside… My parents, they gave me everything. I’m the center of attention in the family… If I had a sibling, I probably wouldn’t be who I am now… If you have more kids in your family, probably they’re lacking in education, lacking in food, lacking any kind of support, no matter emotional or financial.’” (Louisa Lim, Document F). Children are provided attention and care while having plentiful resources to grow. College is expensive for one child let alone more than one. With the One-Child Policy food, clothing, and even education may not be easy to provide but is extremely easier than having more than one child to provide for.

There is an ongoing argument about the funding of Planned Parenthood in the United States. There are many reasons that some people do not want to fund it. One of those reasons is because Planned Parenthood offers abortions to women. There are people who believe that these operations should be shut down to rid our country of abortions. However, Planned Parenthood offers much more than just abortions in their clinics. Planned Parenthood should be funded because of the examinations and resources they provide, the education they give, and because it is a low income health center.

For the longest time China's Communist party would only allow couples to have one child. They did this becuase they feared their huge population was affecting their economic growth. In recent news however the Communist party has changed their law and now allows couples to have two children, "Driven by fears that an aging population could jeopardize China’s economic ascent, the Communist Party leadership ended its decades-old “one child” policy on Thursday, announcing that all married couples would be allowed to have two children.". As this is a big improvement for China, it's almost nothing compared to the amount of children American's have. A ton of American families have up to five children, and some families even have kids in the double digits. Seeing that one country has already cut back their population in a ritual, that's not so harsh, but restraining, shows how easily it could happen to

One reason our government should not limit how many children one has is because it can lead to abuse to citizens.

First reason, the number of government supported children is enormous, and with a projected baby boom on its way after the previous recession. To fix that the government could put in place laws restricting the number of children a family can have. The government could either restrict a family’s number of children based on total income. As in low class to middle low class families have one or two children. Where at the same time the high class, and middle high class families might have two to four children. Or the government could put in a law for everyone. They could much like china did and only allow one child to be born. Or base it off of the number of parents raising the children. One parent, one child, or two parents, to two children. Instead of putting laws on childbirth, they

The primary reason for over-population in the US is due to illegal immigration. This is a very serious issue discussed almost every day with the government, on the news, and in the newspapers. It’s hard to say what the actual number of unauthorized immigrants are since they reside in the country under cover or illegally. Once here, they seek out employment, mainly as day laborers. Once the head of household has migrated and has an income, the rest of the family members follows. The wife’s later give birth to a baby who becomes a legal citizen. This is then causing an influx in the school systems and classrooms, therefore, depriving children of the right to education. The overcrowding in classrooms is contributing to

The birth rate is supposed to be increasing these past few years, but instead it's actually been decreasing. A reason for this is that people are having less children at an older age. "During my childhood Catholics in Britain often had six to ten children. Now two is more likely." This quote from Let's Have More Babies is basically saying how most couples would make enough kids to triple quintuple the population, but now only enough kids to replace the mother and father is being made. If most couples start only having 2 kids the population won't go up as much as it would if 6 to 10 kids were being made.

The United States already had an overpopulation problem. Now that the population is growing even more we have more cities and states being overpopulated. According to Support U.S. Population Stabilization (SUSPS), if our population trend continues, we will be able to add enough population to create another New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco, Indianapolis, San Jose, Memphis, Washington D.C., Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Boston, Columbus, New Orleans, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle, and El Paso - plus the next 75 largest cities in the U.S. - by 2020. According to Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), low-ranking countries have high population growth and high ranking countries have lower population

Breeched pregnancies are something that 13 percent of women in the United States have to deal with. There is not always something that can be done about the breeched pregnancy, and sometimes they baby is just more content that way. It can be a long difficult process deciding what is best for the baby, but there are a lot of options that you can choose from so that you and your baby get the best treatment possible. However, there is a lot of research, stories, and studies about breeched pregnancy that might shine a little light on what is happing to both the baby and the mother.

In October 12, 1999, the world's population has reached to 6 billion people. about only 12 years later (October 31, 2011) the world has gone up to 7 billion. Many people on the planet are worried about the world population going too high. They fear that too many people would result in starvation and quick depletion of resources. Some people believe that we should have some type of law that would limit the number of children we can have in each family. Something similar has come true in China about 30 years ago. In September 25, 1980, China's One-Child Policy has been created. This policy keeps parents from having more than one baby with the exception of twins, triplets, quadruplets, and so on. Parents may also have

A child limit would affect just about everyone, and many different parts of the earth. If the population was lowered there would be less air, water, and soil pollution. The issue behind a child limit is that some people support it, and want it limited, while others don’t. This issue is primarily due to overpopulation, as the limit would limit our population so we won’t be overpopulated. This is a global issue, as populations around the globe would be affected, and environments everywhere would be affected, and this is why a potential child limit is a big deal, and why everyone should understand it.
