"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?

The morality police are already calling for my child to be removed from me because I choose to smoke tobacco. Those do-gooders consider me an unfit mother even though I am married to the father of the child and do not have her in daycare.

I'm sorry, but if people are going to claim I am an unfit mother who deserves to have her child removed from my custody I've got no problem with anyone who wants non-productive members of society from adding any more burdens to the tax payers of society.

I hate nannyist government regulations as much, propably more, than the next person. But when the same people fighting against this kind of crapola are among the ones seeking to snatch my child from me I seriously have to wonder just what the agenda is that they are actually promoting.
