Multicultural Perspectives Dr. Morse Nathan Nance 6-9-13 Population Control in China In china, more than 330 million abortions and almost 200 million sterilizations have been performed in china since family-planning policies to limit the populations were introduced 40 years ago (parks).

Birth Control Policy in China PART 1. My first statement containing rant and emotion. My View of Birth Control Policy in China One thing makes me furious is the birth control policy in China.
