Hanoi, Vietnam (LifeNews.com) -- Officials in the Asian nation of Vietnam have proposed a two-child limit on couples similar to the coercive forced-abortion population control program in China that allows just one. Vietnam has long had one of the world's highest abortion rates and the proposal would likely increase those rates further.

Nguyen Ba Thuy, deputy minister of health, talked about the idea on Friday and said the government would likely institute it to limit its population growth.

"We are very determined to limit couples on having a third child," Thuy said.

About Me

My photo
Catholic and politically conservative, I graduated with a BA in History (concentration in American) and Political Science. I'm between two parishes; one in Wisconsin that is fairly traditional, and one in Illinois that is fairly liberal. I teach CCD. I work in the food service industry, which basically means I'm working in fast food until I find a better job. I'd like to work for the church somehow. Right now I'm working on getting my teaching certification, although I'm unsure thats the correct path for me. This blog is as random as I am. I hope you enjoy.
