Your opinion falsely supposes our Government has, or should have, jurisdiction over the private, individual sexual activities of mutually consenting adults.
The government does have legal jurisdiction to protect minor children from all forms of sexual predation, and also “protects” adults, via laws against rape and prostitution, and specific restrictions against incest, pornography and many other matters related to sexually deviant behavior.
Our government does not have the authority to dictate that certain conditions must be met, prior to adult procreation.
Are you certain you are on the right website?
Then let’s end the welfare entitlements.
No.
His comment as written ONLY suggested that the young woman and her guardian were solely responsible for the costs and care of the child she was giving birth to.
Charity had already been given them - they were not paying their own way as it was.Those offering them a handout had every right to toss them out on their ears.
They offered to keep on supporting them if the young woman were sterilized. That was wrong - they should have been sumarily turned out to fend for themselves - unles the girl had been sexually abused rather than typical teenage promiscuity.
Where this went wrong was not the sterilization - it was badly wrong before that.
The terms of not adding another mouth to feed should have resulted in the end of government subsidy.
Don't like that? Then don't live on the taxpayer's forced largess.
People who are paying their own way can do what they like. People sponging off of soemone else have to jump through the someone else's hoops.
The woman and her mother should have (I know this just isn't done in some circles) gotten jobs and taken to heart that promiscuity has costs someone always has to pay.
