What's the difference between China's one child policy, and abortion?

Abortion occurs post conception, China's one child policy occurs pre conception. So really, all the pro-lifers should be in China protesting with their signs.

What the f*ck.

One's a population control method and the other's...well, a population control method.

Oh my, I think they just might be the same thing.

I'm at a loss for words as I'm not following what you are saying.

In China it's not pro-choice vs. pro-life. You don't have a choice. You have a one kid limit, that's it. Any after that must be aborted.

China's methods may seem inhumane but they are almost out of necessity. We may see India adapt similar policies. In fact, we may have to adapt similar policies in the future. Overpopulation is a real thing and could really hurt our species.

Abortion kills the child while still in the womb, one child policy either stops the child from exiting at all or n many cases leads to parents killing the child after its born if it's a girl

One is killing children while they are in the womb The other is stopping the family putting a second child in the womb There is a differenceTwoFace-BS

This.

Are you really that daft, OP ?

Stopping someone getting pregnant is not the same as having an abortion. Thats like saying preventing someone from commiting a crime is the same as catching them commiting the crime.

The one child policy is mandatory, and abortion isn't.

Uh more then likely the said chinese family does not have access to a ultrasound which means they do not know if its a boy or girl.. More then likely the baby is abandoned..

Are you a f ucking moron? China's one child policy involves abortion, forced abortion. So much for a woman's right to choose. So in reality both pro-lifers and pro-choicers should be protesting.

Second, protesting with signs in the PRC is a great idea if you want to go missing.

They must make a lot of exceptions. Can somebody explain to me why the population of china hasn't dramatically decreased under this?DaBrainz

Certain ethnic groups are exempt. Couples in the countryside are sometimes allowed 2. And some people just plain get away with having extra kids.

The highly amusing thing is that even with all the laws regarding the matter, China still has a substantially higher birthrate than places like Europe, Japan, Canada, and South Korea.

One is a necessary evil for a 1 Billion+ overpopulation

The other is asensationalized talking point to segue a misconstrued perception ofpremarital sex.

the difference is your aborting something that's living i wouldn't like to call it murder as some people don't have much of a choice China's 1 child policy is to stop the country from getting even more over crowded currently the population is about 1.5 billion even with the 1 child rule there almost certain to pass the 2 billion marker in the next 20 years .

I think you'll find that China's one child policiy had lead to a sharp increase of abortions and of infanticide at foxhound mentioned. It's a terrible human rights issue.

Ones forced, one isn't

*Facepalm". Abortion is the termination of life. period. The one-child policy is necessary to control China's huge population, albeit it its enforced harshly. It allows couples to have one-child only, then any pregnancies after that would be terminated. It doesn't mean no children at all - which is the key point here. For China, it is necessary, given that they have a population that is around 1.4 Billion. Russia, in comparison with their huge amount of land at their disposal, has a population of only 143,000,000, and the USA have a population of around 313,000,000. China's population at 1,400,000,000 is far in excess of that in a much smaller space of land. [spoiler] Of course I used Wikipedia for those population figures :P [/spoiler] DeX2010

Another fun Wikipedia fact. PRC is the 80th most densly populated country in the world. The 80th.

I had no idea populations were discussed in terms like 'grand scale'. And hell, what does that even mean?
