As an upper limit? As a lower limit? What do you mean?
Forcing people who don’t want kids to have two is insane. Who will make it happen? Is there a conception agency where agents just go a rape women in this imagined scenario?
Forcing a third pregnancy to terminate is also pretty insane. Suppose the mother doesn’t even know she’s pregnant until pretty far along. Suppose a mother hides her pregnancy and gives birth in secret; is that baby getting killed?
In either case, what is the punishment for violation? Suppose a woman is incapable of having kids when you mandated 2; is she to be executed for being unable to fulfill this societal requirement? Suppose a woman intentionally had more than her government-permitted 2 children; what is her sentence for providing extra mouths to feed?
It’s unethical, it’s not reasonably enforceable, and frankly, I’m not sure I understand what such a policy would even be attempting to accomplish.
That was already performed in China.
Kids were born outside of hospitals and either were ghost people without proper paperworl or registered as children of other family members like the sister.
I’m still curious what OP was thinking when posing this question to the community.
Its not a forbidden question.
Nothing about my post said I support it.
Should I explain to you why people ask questions? Are we simply not supposed to ask controversial questions on Lemmy?
If you were actually curious as to why I asked, I was just wondering, nothing more deep. I’m sorry.
It’s just too many people get ‘curious’ as to why you’re asking the question in the first place when you ask a slightly controversial question. I got 2 of these for this post alone.

I wanted to know what people think and what could be the pros and cons etc. That’s why people ask questions, don’t they?

I never said that. Why’re you soo intent on putting words into my mouth?
Population could also be controlled by neutering men.

And men still produce sperm. If we neuter them after 2 children we can still do it. Not that I like that. Just saying there is something else
