Biden "Fully Undersands" China's One Child Policy

[cindylou]

Uncle Sugar has that covered!

• Housing Grant
• Education Grant
• Utility Grant
• Automobile Grant

Of course there's a catch:

Most grants will require that you are a U.S. citizen whose child is not currently enrolled in the foster care system

It's all so hypocritical, if people in China have such an issue with having an abortion that why are sad shameful sex -selective abortions performed? it's not ok for the government to make me have an abortion, but it's ok for me to have an abortion if I'm carrying a girl instead of a boy? China Vows Crackdown On Sex-Selective Abortions

The one child policy has actually helped a lot of women in that country to do something with themselves other than pop out kids and make dinner, they have blooming architects, bilingual professionals, musicians, doctors, artists, etc
One-child policy a surprising boon for China girls - Yahoo! News

I'm not saying it's right... because it does suck, however it's what their population needs, control, if you have a 2' x 2' room full of hamsters and they kept breeding and breeding over and over again they will all be in danger, just because it sucks doesnt mean it doesnt make sense... I wouldnt second guess it either...

There was a brief window back in the early 2000's where China owned more of the super high-end GE 4D ultrasound units than the US did. That machine served a few clinical niches, but was primarily designed to force obstetricians to purchase the unit so parents to-be could see high-resolution, 3D, moving pictures of their babies (remember the GE ad set to the music "The First Time I Saw Your Face"?).

Turns out, the Chinese jumped all over these units and began using them to open dedicated-purpose gender determination / abortion clinics. It rained hell on us for a solid three months until we could get the dealers cut-off. I'm sure they just repurchased the machines through other channels, but at least it took us out of the line of fire.

But we are not talking about abortion being immoral No, it's not okay for the government to make you have an abortion, but yes, it is okay for you to have an abortion for whatever reason you please...imho.

You really honestly wouldn't second guess it? Honestly?

I hear we now have a blood test that can determine gender at 8 weeks.

Gah! That's going to hurt ultrasound sales.

IMO any govt attempt to control how many children you may or may not have is immoral. It is worse than govt trying to control your ability to not have children. You can't exactly hide children from the state.

That doesn't mean shit in a communist state ( really: socialist/capitalist/totalitarian). If they tell you only have one kid, that's what you do.

People who can't feed their children typically don't need the government to prevent them from having kids especially if there is no free ride.

lol! Yes, poor, starving people in African countries prove this over and over every day. They know better than to spawn off multitudes of children they can't feed!

A Chinese friend of mine (M.D. who is well to do) almost fell out of his chair the first time I told him I had three sons. He has a daughter, but really wants a son. He's going to have the kid in Hong Kong, then bring them back into the country. His wife has a very nice government job and would lose it instantly if she got caught.

of course which is why its so disturbing that the VP would say he fully understood it.
