The right to have a second birth given up.
The Government of the Wendeng County, Shandong Province has taken measures to carry out the family planning program in a down-to-earth way.  For the past few years, there are 2141 couples who have given up, of their own accord, the right to have a 2nd birth, though they are entitled to have.  During the practice of family planning, the Wendeng Government started with the publicity of family planning policies.  More than 30,000 copies of publicity pamphlets were distributed and about 220 shows of videotapes, films and slides were played in the countryside.  The county's Family Planning Committee and the Maternal and Child Health Care Station, together with other departments concerned gave 120 lectures on birth control in the rural areas and sent contraceptives to every village with guidance to households.  For the past 3 years, the proportion of women at childbearing age using contraceptives has increased by 62%.
