Abolish welfare altogether would be a more humane solution.

I'd love to, but the welfare recipient voting bloc continues to increase in size every year. There just simply is no way politically to get rid of welfare. What I'm proposing doesn't have to be a government program. I'd like to start a fund of some sort that would pay for these procedures to be done to such people, and then offer these people a cash incentive to participate.

>Abolish welfare altogether would be a more humane solution.<

You might want to do a little research on the slums of Bangladesh, India, many countries in Africa and in South America, before you make that statement.

Do I think welfare is a good idea? No, but I would rather see young women in inner cities who do not get pregnant rewarded. Pay them if necessary for not getting pregnant and for staying in school, at least for a trial period. It might be the best money we ever spent.

I wonder what would happen if we drafted any young man who impregnated his girlfriend of the hour, unless he married her?
