I think yes, because over population is onenofnthe major problems that our country is facing right now. I think parents should control it as well because there are parents who can't sustain the needs of their children. It is the righr of children to live and enjoy life so we'd better control having too much kids now.
Some people argue that it is the choice of the parents, and they should be given the freedom to have as many children as they want. But I disagree with this argument. These children will enjoy the government subsidized services and in turn this will put a major strain on the government resources. So the parents can't be allowed to have as many children as they want.
