   • 1984 February 14, John Corry, “Birth Curb in China”, in The New York Times‎^[1], →ISSN:

     At the same time, it glides over the personal traumas that the one-child policy must cause among innumerable Chinese. Certainly it is awesome to think of a nation that brings its powers of persuasion against a woman's right to conceive.
