Scary to think that now a child shouldn't live because of something they "might" do in the future. IT sounds like that B movie about thought crime awhile back.

Anyway, I know of a lot of good people that were born to teenage moms, unwed moms, and even drug users.

Actually there were movies about this back in the 1930s when the policies were implemented in Hitler's Germany and FDR's America.

Tomorrow's Children (1934)

A well meaning but misguided doctor reports to the court that Alice's family is made up of "drunks, cripples and idiots" and suggests that the whole family be ordered by the court to be sterilised to prevent them for siring any more societal misfits like themselves.

Science fiction? A look into a possible Orwellian future? A warning against a Totalitarian government? Sorry but this is all true! When this movie was made 28 states had laws allowing mandatory sterilisation of criminals and people the courts deemed "unfit".
