Catholic ping!
Book marked to watch this thread to see how many “conservatives” come out in favor of it.
We have had so called conservatives come out in favor of involuntary sterilization. (They don’t stick around long after doing so.)
I guess that Mr. Coughlin is a big fan of the Communist Chinese, because this is very close to their “one child only” law. And I wonder if he has fathered any children and if he thinks he should have gotten a government license before him and his female reproductive partner produced that child(ren).
And of course, we could have government mandated implant of birth control measures for males and females at puberty and the removal of them upon the granting of a license to procreate.
As long as they stay in New Jailsey, let them have their totalitarianism, I say!
The only way to enforce this license to have a child is if all kids around age 12 had a contraceptive implant that was required under force of law to remain in place until you had permission to take it out, as well as mandatory abortions for those pregnant without a license.
Government as parent
I’ve always found psychologists in the public eye to be tyrannical.
I would also be open to restricting their rights to vote.
Personally, I think the tax deduction for a child should only apply to children conceived within marriage and living with both biological parents. A condition of divorce should be assignment of the tax break to only one of the parties.
Mao with a Jersey accent!
Drunk on government, are we?
My daughter went through the Catholic Church’s Pre-Cana class two years ago. There was a huge lesson on how to have sex with very descriptive lesson plans. My daughter was disgusted by this, and sent it to her bishop. There was no reply.
As for the article, evil loves control and money. This will give them both. We are actually on a road where we will become worse than China if good people don’t start standing up and fighting back.
I have a modest proposal, if anyone wants to listen. It’ll prevent the children of poor people from being such a burden to society, and especially their parents, and actually would make them beneficial to the public in general!
Marriage rates in the US are at all-time lows, and that's with gay marriage now legal in 36 states.
Throwing up even more barriers to marriage is an amazingly dumb idea.
"Record Share of Americans Have Never Married"
The author wanted to give Coughlin the benefit of the doubt: after all those seasons of “Jersey Shore”, maybe he was afraid of that bunch reproducing. </sarc>
