China restricted how many children people could have until 2015!? I thought that was like a 1970s policy. What's up with that? (hexbear.net)

I'd suggest that the one child policy has been greatly blown out of proportion in terms of it's 'big scary bad communist government' propaganda

When I lived in Oklahoma and went to a fundamentalist christian school, I specifically remember my social studies teacher (an Israeli christian convert I shit you not) talking about how parents in China will often drown their newborn babies either because they already have one child and/or they want a son so much that they kill the girls since they're only allowed one child.
