Taichung mayor calls for respect for women's personal choices

Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen (盧秀燕) says women's choices about marriage and having children should be respected, responding to controversial remarks by singer Lo Ta-yu (羅大佑).
Luo had criticized former President Tsai Ing-wen and other female political figures who have not had children, claiming they could not understand or properly consider the interests of future generations.
Lu urged women to continue speaking up for their rights and opportunities, saying they must keep fighting for their own space in society.
That's as Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan An, for whom Lu acts as campaign manager, has become embroiled in the controversy as well.
Chiang appeared on a TPP livestream, stirring discussion when he and TPP councilor Zhang Zhi Hao appeared to make light of giving birth to children.
