As long as the government (read: taxpayers) wind up supporting these offspring, the government (read: taxpayers) have every right to say this couple should not have any more.

Get the government (read: taxpayers) out of the equation of taking care of the offspring and then I will totally agree with you.

I really have no problem with welfare/foodstamps/ subsidized housing or health care as temporary assistance..............I am against it being a lifestyle.

Sorry to "jump" on you here, but

There is a MAJOR problem with it - namely - it is not allowed under the constitution.

"As long as the government (read: taxpayers)"

As long as the government (read: taxpayers who elect official representatives who are bound by our Constitutional laws)....

Just a few questions to ponder for those who would support a law making it illegal to have children:

(1). What if the woman kicked her drug habbit, would she then need a special Court Release to have children or would the Order stand forever?

(2). What if the woman were found to be pregnant by the "pregnancy police" while under Court Order to not procreate; should they force her to abort, put her in jail, or just fine her heavily?

(3). What if the woman were a married Christian whose faith prohibited birth control?

(4). Would not such a 'procreation" Law eventually broaden, (as most laws tend to do), to include other forms of "misfit" mothers, such as poverty stricken mothers, sick mothers, divorced mothers, mothers with low IQ's, mothers with police records, mothers who already have four children, etc?
