As many of you know, in China they have rules against the amount of children that you are allowed to have. For many years they have restricted couples to only allowing them to have one child.
“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.” (http://geography.about.com/od/populationgeography/a/onechild.htm)
I am very grateful that we are not limited, by law, as to how many children we may have and to not be threatened with heavy fines or the death of the child by such laws. We are very blessed to live in a country that allows us to conceive our children when, how, and as often as we please. I even though my body doesn’t allow this I am grateful that my government does.
