Do you think people should limit the number of children they have?

I have 7 kids. I cant imagine my life without any of them. If you have the capacity to support and love them all...then have a dozen. If you are popping out kids to get more social services(which I have seen people do)then no..you shouldnt have any more.

So far...0 but its because I have too many kids..not because I wouldn't want too.

If it was me, I'm going to say no.  I have one beautiful son and one more son on the way that I'm totally excited about, but I'm not much of a kid person outside of my own.  So if I met someone and found out that he had 5 kids, I would not let a relationship develop.  I would not want to deal with living with a total of 7 children if we were to fall in love and actually live together.  Criminy who can afford to have 5 kids these days anyway??  Yikes!

I think anything that can cure a person should be explored,and abortion is not a bad thing,after all who want to keep an unwanted child no matter the situation.\n\nI would not want another child brought into this world,it is going to do nothing but get worse no matter what anyone says.

One child policy in ways is horrible because if a woman is impregnated with a second baby the government aborts the baby. Also since most Chinese live in villages they prefer boys over girls. This causes a lot of parents to abandon their first child if it is a girl so they can have a boy. In many ways one child policy is inhumane but without it the Chinese population would continue to sky rocket. With too many people Chinese economy would decrease because it wouldn't be able to provide for all its people. There might not be enough food for everyone and many would starve.

I believe that it's biologically necessary- having a child strains the mother's body and resources. Carrying a fetus to term is a HUGE investment. If I would make that sort of investment, I want it to be at the best possible time. \nI cannot ask less of anyone else (treating others as I would wish to be treated).\n\nSometimes, often, accidents happen. \n\nThe Pill causes side effects which make some women unable or unwilling to use it. The IUD is not for everyone, either. Sometimes both forms are too expensive, unavailable, or fail.\n\nReality is highly subjective, so a woman should be able to legally, safely, and affordably terminate a pregnancy at any time. I am sure that those who abort late term have very good reasons... \n\nI believe that every child should be a wanted child. When the orphanages are empty and child services has nothing to do-- then maybe it would be time to reevaluate my prochoice views :-)\n\nUltimately, I believe that sex is private and that the Government should stay out of our bedrooms. So should religion. To others and the public, it should be a matter of public health. Public health is preventing STDs, providing prenatal care, and the general health of the existing citizens. \n\nAbortion is a private matter which, if anything, should belong as a legal option as a part of the reproductive health aspect of Public Health (just as much as choosing to get a prescription for The Pill is an option).\n\nWho is anyone to judge- especially those religions like Christianity whose prophet/savior spoke those words?

I agree.  Another good approach would be to give incentives to people to not have kids.  For example: if someone is a criminal, a crackhead, violent, or otherwise unfit....we pay them a large sum of money to get sterilized.  That way it's not against their will and the government stays out of it except by the subject's choice.  If they're on crack or meth, they'll want the money.  Fewer neglected kids and a more stable society.

I think that if people, men and women, do not want a baby they should not have sex!\nThat being said and ignored by a lot of you - I think it is unfair to the men that women can abort their child without them even knowing they had a child.\nAnd yes - it is even more unfair to a child to be brought into the world when the parents did not and do not want it - ADOPTION is my answer to that.

Yes but if you are caught they will take those ones away too.\n\nAlthough I am not sure why you would want to mess up the lives of more children...

I did a report exactly what you are doing in high school.\n\nYes i think they should stop the one child policy because it is not right for the babies who are just thrown away or murdered(mostly the girl babies) They favor boys because of the labor they will be able to help in the field, and they mostly feel girls are useless except for having babies. I just think it is wrong to be able to just throw a baby out just because of sex. you should be happy for what you get.

Exactly, this whole world is becoming overpopulated, why don't they send them back home the minute they catch them, I agree, and also some people have a ton of kid's just for the welfare, why don't they have a limit, like OK after the 3 rd or 4th kid no more help, that may cut down the overpopulation as well, anyway, I could go on and on....God bless

No, because whoever has the children has to establish some kind of stability for them.  I'm not saying you should not have any rights, but think of the kids first.

Allowing people who whine about "overpopulation" to start helping out by letting them commit suicide.\n\nThere's plenty of space still left here on earth.\n\nYou could take all 6 billion people, give them 1/4 acre lot in Texas and still have room left over.  Do the math.

the earth's population is increasing every minute i do not see the reasons for having a big family these days. Everything is expensive too, so having just the one is ok to me, plus carrying a pregnancy for nine months isn't always easy and the birth effects people in different ways. One to me is plenty to be getting on with.

I think its a whole lot better than having a bunch of kids around that nobody wants to care for. Life is hard enough when you have two loving, willing and financially stable parents..without them the outlook is pretty dismal. I don't think it should be taken lightly or used as birth control but yes i think its ok, especially if you are 16! The right to lifers will scream NO but what you never hear in their arguments is what the hec are you going to do with all the kids nobody wants? there are already far too many of them in the world, they would impress me if they solved that problem first, then they could truly say there is no reason for this..do what you need to do, don't listen to all the hooey because you live in the real hard, harsh world
