17. The One child Policy is changing

Sat Nov 30, 2013, 11:46 AM

Nov 2013

According to http://news.yahoo.com/china-one-child-law-change-small-crucial-experts-115730650.html

The Policy experiment is creating a demographic time bomb with an unbalance between males and females in the Chinese Population creating a generation of Bachelors.

The Chinese government and Hobby Lobby seem to share the attitude that they know what is best for women and their families and they should not be trusted to make their own decisions. Of course China did it out of fear of Famine while Hobby Lobby is intent on imposing their religious beliefs on their employees and probably society as a whole.
