Section on attitudes

I will reply to your question here if you don't mind. The OCP never really gained much support in China but the citizens were forced to oblige(or sent for forced abortion/sterilization). The main goal for the OCP was only to reduce population boom in China. However, little thought were put into considering the effects it might have on its population(esp. those who live in rural area where they relied heavily on farming as a source for income, restricting reproduction to 1 child is thus harsh). This is also why some people would rather not report the birth of their child and raise them in secret. Hope that helps!
