Opinions on family planning in China range from good to bad. Many people have an idea of what the law is, but have never taken the time to explore the topic and fully understand its importance and actual meaning. Of course, we can all say how tough or good the law is, but do we really understand why China adopted it? Why did it affect so many people there? It is the right of every human being to make the decision to have children, as it is their responsibility. China didn't believe it? Or has China failed to respect God-given rights as a human being? In the dictionary it defines rights as something (such as a power or privilege) to which one has a just or legitimate right, and the dictionary also defines responsibilities as the quality or state of being responsible. With these two definitions, Chinese citizens should be able to make the decision that having more than one child is unfair, even if harsh and cruel law states otherwise. Originally in 1979, when the one-child policy was introduced, it was intended to control population growth and reduce pressure on scarce resources. For some eyes it was a great decision while for many others it left them shattered. China was wrong to take away the right to have as many children as a family wanted. It was a decision made entirely by the people of the Chinese government and Chinese citizens had no say in the matter, so they had to comply or face sanctions. Since when do humans have to pay money or have different consequences to produce an innocent human? The whole law just wasn't just, it's a gift that most people have and it's not something you should be able to tell someone they can't use. I believe that sexual health is... at the heart of the paper... and responsibilities, no matter if they are rich or poor. This topic is very interesting but it is also very heartbreaking to know what some of these families have gone through and what some of these innocent women and children have had to go through. Most Americans don't realize how good things are here, and I think many of us take for granted what our country has provided us. Despite the heartbreaking information and horrific stories I've read, this topic definitely has a lot of history and reasoning behind the decision made by the Chinese government. It was not only a pleasure to read this topic and learn the truth about Chinese politics; it was also a more than wonderful learning experience. I am very happy to have chosen this topic and to have been able to express my thoughts on the rights and responsibilities of China's one-child policy.
