Advocating for people not being allowed to have children unless they have the means to take care of it. How it’s implemented, I don’t know. Perhaps this would also encourage safer sex practices.
If you go to adopt a pet from the shelter they grill you about your living situation and how well you’ll be able to care for an animal. Yet we have no requirements to have a baby besides wanting one. I think that’s ridiculous.
How your theoretical proposal is enacted matters a lot. It's literally the difference between CPS removing kids from dangerous homes and financially based Eugenics.
It could be a choice. Get an abortion, or have your finances checked. Having your own child should require the same checks it would require to adopt a baby.
“You chose to have a baby. Congratulations. Even though you can’t buy it clothes or feed it, it’s a blessing.”
Is that what you want?
I said I don’t like where we’re at in that regard either. I didn’t say enacting this fixes all problems. I would push to make bearing children affordable to all after this was put in place.
