A better solution is saying if you’re on welfare/SSDI and semi-capable, you’re picking up trash on the side of the road or parks a couple hours a week. Yes, this requires tying mandatory contraception to welfare benefits, which we should do anyway, so that someone can’t say I can’t work because there is yet another baby.
Want SSDI because you’re depressed at an inability to find work? We’ll have you cleaning public venues for money instead.
It isn’t service if it’s forced. That is slavery and has no place in a free country.
