You can have 2 children in a rural area of China if the first is a girl or disabled. But otherwise, they force women to get abortions, or you can lose rights to free education for your children and other rights. Also the fact that families want boys first and foremost means there are now nearly 3 males to every 2 females in China. But you can't really blame them.

This is a good point but Africa doesn't tend to use up so many resources as England and in particular the USA.
