One Child Rule

My topic is one child policy in China. The reason China has this policy is because their population is too big. The one child rule helps decrease the population by only letting the citizens have one child if they have more than one kid they have to pay a fine. If you have a kid with a mental disability or something is wrong with the kid, or if you have a girl you can fill out forms to let you have a second kid. This policy only is followed through by specific cities. The country part of China does not have this rule. The people in the country are allowed to have as many kids as they want so they end up having five to eight kids. If you ask me I think they should change that to three or four kids other than some people having only one. My opinion on this topic is I do not support this decision because whose right is it to say that they can only have one child, and if they have more than one kid they have to pay a fine. I also do not like the fact that girls do not count as a kid. Since this policy has been in place there has been more abortions than there has ever been. But the policy has brought the population down by 1.3 million people.
