With exceptions in cases like when a couple loses a child

Edit: in a scenario where everything is good. No wars, no famine.

    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.

        Forcing women to terminate pregnancies is as cruel as forcing them to be inseminated.

        What’s your point with this question?

          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.

            Yeah and it’s cruel. I’m still curious what OP was thinking when posing this question to the community.

            There’s no answer here that isn’t a disgusting look at how women and fertility and birth is treated.
