No, but I would support repealing laws that allow the government to incentivize people on government assistance to have more.

I'd be in favor of something limiting government subsidies to only one kid after enrolling in any welfare program.

So lets say a family gets on welfare with 2 kids and a 3rd is on the way. If they had a 4th kid, they'd still receive the same amount as they did with only 3.

What's the government liability for when the woman has a reaction to anesthesia and dies?

Nice intro. The most random thoughts hit me when I mow too.

Back on topic, if the population out grew our means to produce adequate resources then yes I'd be for it.

I'd prefer that, if on govt assistance, women be required to get depo shot. I think when someone is on Medicaid, they are saying that they want someone else to be responsible for their healthcare. Me, as the taxpayer, I don't want the burden, but now that I have it, I need to look out for my investment. I believe that it would be cheaper to pay for depo shots than it would be to have to pay for kids. Once woman has health ins, through employer or spouse, have as many kids as you want.

Government compelled castration. :yikes:

It's even scarier to think that this was legal not that long ago.

China is reversing its policy due to many issues that the "never" thought about.

I agree with Fox here. Have as many kids as you want. On your own dime. I shouldn't have to pay more taxes for your bastard children

For instance, if a person is entirely dependent upon the government (i.e., for food, water, shelter, child support, cell phone, etc.), that person can not have more than two children?

I'd vote for it.

Ok, and you would be in this hypothetical. You would have to fill out an application for the final 7, but
quote:

if I can afford 9 kids
then you should have no problem getting accepted right? It's a slippery slope when dealing with the freedoms that this country was founded upon. Im on both sides of the fence with this because if such a law were put into affect, it would single-handedly fix/cripple many of the problems we have in this country today like lack of education, increasing fatherless households, thuglife breeding, government dependence, etc. These problems could be severly controlled within one generation and the country would be better as a whole for it. There are too many religious people for anything like this to ever take place, but if we are seriously talking about fixing issues in this country, this would no doubt get the job done, and quickly at that.
