China considering two-child policy

The New American has just published a new story on China’s population policies. According to the article, the government is considering easing its notorious one-child policy to allow couples to have two children.

Reggie Littlejohn comments:

The problem with the one-child policy is not the number of children allowed,” Littlejohn told Baptist Press. “Rather, it is the fact that the policy is enforced through forced abortion, forced sterilization, and infanticide. Even if some couples will eventually be allowed to have two children, the Chinese Communist Party has emphatically not stated that they will cease their appalling methods of enforcement.”

Littlejohn noted that in areas where the two-child policy is in place, there is still wide-spread evidence of the aborting of baby girls because of a cultural preference for boys. “The areas in which two children are allowed are especially vulnerable to ‘gendercide,’ the sex-selective abortion of females,” Littlejohn said.
