Did I say that it resulted in more births? I don’t think it did.
- vlovich123 4y agoHere's the conversation I read. >>> Asian societies turned population control into a quasi-religious endeavor in the 1960s and are now paying the price >> What kind of population control did Japan engage in in the 60s? > Your response about no prescription abortions and birth control but instead doctors push abortions. I'm totally missing your point about how Japan is engaging in population control. For example, if prescription abortions were legal and they pushed birth control instead, is the net effect a meaningful change in policy that would prevent them from "now paying the price"? I guess I'm totally missing how your criticism of their policies relates back to the original discussion that Japan's low birth rates are a result of population control and how addressing the critique you wrote would in any way change their birth rate.
