The truth is, that everyone has the right to their reproductive system because we own the body. But can the economy that we are in take as many children as people wanted to want? That is the question we should all ask ourselves before deciding how many children we want to have.
Here in my country, there are ways the government makes it possible for people not to have too many children for the country not to be too crowded with people. The government made sure that every woman who registered for antenatal took birth control injections immediately after they delivered their baby, and that is to space their childbearing.

I know that was against people's wishes but yet some need gum right in their head to control their reproductive system because they don't care if they give birth every year which would affect the economy later.
Imagine one couple having ten children and their children are still going to give birth as well, I wasn't aware of the injection before but a friend of mine who works at a general hospital told me that the injection is given to us whenever we just delivered a baby was to control our reproductive system.
At first, I thought that was a crime to inject someone without their permission but when I witnessed a scene where a lady was put to bed and she had triplets, the husband didn't show up to clear her bills because immediately she announced to him on the phone that it was triplets he ran away, the doctor in charge had to send people to their house to get the husband and when they got there, there were three kids at home already and with the newborn babies making six.
The husband ran away because he couldn't take care of the children, and the government took responsibility for the woman since the husband was nowhere to be found. Imagine if everyone in the country had many children like that the country would be overpopulated and that wouldn't be a good thing because the resources wouldn't be enough for everyone to share.
Later, I heard that it was announced to every woman who registered for antenatal that they would be taking injections after giving birth and that would only be available at the general hospital, that was some years back when I had my second child, and I don't know how everything is being run in the hospital now since I have given birth to the numbers of children I wanted.
Reproductive rights should be given as a lecture to some people in my country and that should commence immediately after the couple starts having children because it is not everyone that understands how too much childbearing affects the economy. We all know it is our right to give birth to as many as we want but to consider the growth of our economy everyone needs to be lectured about how overpopulation is affecting the economy.
At least there should be certain numbers of children we should have to keep track of the reproductive rights in the economy and to prevent overpopulation.
