Unfortunately, it is not an extreme example.

This case came to national attention only because a child died.

Hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. face unbelievably harsh conditions daily at the hands of people like Williams/Murphy.

We have neither the political will to take the children away from them nor to sterilize them -- what should we do to protect the innocent children ??

The deadbeat dads are equally responsible -- beyond a vasectomy, I would be pleased to castrate them as well.

Doesn't it ever occur to you that you wouldn't be the one making those decisions, but a government bureaucracy would?

Let's see, so after we give government the power to arbitrarily decree who may be sterilized and who may not, the Hillary Clinton administration decrees that "Republicanism is a form of child abuse" and decides that, henceforth, all Republicans must be sterilized. How would you like that?

Our constitution established limited government for a reason. It's because putting too much power in government's hands inevitably leads to abuse.

But, please make no mistake: the long term plan of the so-called "pro-choicers" is exactly what I've outlined here. "Pro-choice" is a dodge, a lie. The real agenda is government control over the family in every sphere, not excluding the decision over when to reproduce. We are very definitely heading for a situation in this country in which the decision to abort is "intensely personal" and must be "left to a woman and her doctor," but the decision to carry a pregnancy to term will require a government permit. This is why so-called "pro-choice" organizations like Planned Barrenhood seem strangely silent when China's "family planning programs" (i.e., "the government will kill your second child if you won't kill your first") are mentioned. It's because they see that as progress.

Yeah, you're ahead of the curve, all right. But when you or your children are declared "unworthy to reproduce" by virtue of your politics, religion, race, or some other arbitrary criterion, don't say I didn't warn you.
