I have the answer: Let's give criminals an option when it comes to sentence. For most offenses, let's offer to them to be surgically "fixed" in order to avoid incarceration. While they will have the benefit of "coasting" on their crime, society will be much better in the long run. The cost of the procedure will be made up 10 fold when the miscrants don't come out to plague us. I understand the ACLU will fight us on this one, but wouldn't it be nice? Also, how about birth control being required when one is on Welfare (you notice I said birth control and not sterilization?). When they have been "benefited" by what Welfare has to offer, AND THEY OFF the program, thn have the kids. What do you think?

Why would they want to fight us on it? They are, after all, pro-choice. We're just giving the dirtbags a CHOICE!

I have no argument there. There should absolutely be strict guidelines on who receives welfare and under what conditions. If you are so irresponsible to end up in that situation, then it would stand to reason you need someone to "parent" you and that would include how the money is spent and under which conditions one receives the money(ie birth control is mandatory).
