    Welfare recipients and mandatory birth control?

    Should welfare recipients be subject to mandatory birth control?

    I think Yes...Your thoughts?

    I have no thoughts on important subjects. Sorry. Ask the smart ones.

    No way in the world such a law would pass in this day and age. That would be like the days of the frontal lobotomies for violent criminals or castrations for rapists. Ain't gonna happen.

    Now finding work for them, whether it's mowing and picking up trash on the sides of the highways or picking strawberries or oranges, would be my idea.

    And Bucky ... the "woe is me" is starting to get old. At least IMHO.

    If they can't even make them take drug tests, they can't make them do this either.

    Ha ha! This hit me as I was eating lunch, but by time I got back to my 'puter, you'd already posted it.

    Besides, this post suggests mandatory birth control ... that's different than sterilization. No form of birth control is 100% (except abstinence), so there's no way it could be enforced. Sterilization would be the same as the castration or frontal lobotomies I mentioned above.

    Plus there would be a whole lot of religious objections too.

    Well, and then there's the whole notion that the majority of people who receive welfare benefits indiscriminantly pop out kids too. That's simply not the facts. One might say that the people who recieve disability payments from social security are disabled because they have complications from being fat fuckers. Maybe we should sterilize them too. Or at least stop them from buying Viagra.
    That liberal enough for ya?.

    I will interject just one question into this.

    Does the fact that recipients of government programs are receiving money coerced from citizens (called Taxes usually) have any bearing? In other words, are the normal parts of logic and consideration somewhat tempered by the fact that those funding such programs are having the funds ripped from their hands and given to others, without their direct approval?? Yes, they are represented, and yes those Representatives approved such payments. I get that.

    But should the funders of these programs not have more direct say into how those funds are dispersed??

    And yes, a great many people 'pop out kids' simply to use them to collect welfare, since welfare is not provided to single folks.
