How many kids is too many?

Should the state be allowed to put a limit on how many children a single mother can have? Should her means of income be a major factor in determining this? Should judges be able to order ubes tied for unwed mothers with more than 3 kids? Or females should be able to birth as many kids as they want, regardless to their economic status?

.................
I believe that there should be a limit. I believe that if a person is on government assistance, should not be allowed to continue having babies and not be able to support them. I do believe that situations can change. But who's to say that it will or won't? In the mean time, a mother is having to take care of several babies with no income, because with the prices of daycare today, who can afford it with multiple babies? But I guess they are getting income, because section 8, foodstamp, welfare checks are considered income.Im not saying nothing is wrong with goverment assistance. But some people use it as away to come up , and not for its intended use, which is to help you get on your feet.(thats another topic) But still, if they were working, she would be working to pay daycare. I have one in daycare and its killing me and Im married. As for a divorcee, I dont think that she should bring another child into the world if she is not remarried, regardless of how many children she has. Thats just my opinion.

I can understand the biblical standpoint, cuz children are blessing, but would'nt it be selfish to bring a child into this world knowing you cant care for them?

  1. Very touchy subject. Interesting, to say the least, cause I'd written a post concerning this topic last year but failed to post it. I didn't think bloggers ready for such a controversial post. I admire your realness.

    What do I think? Judging by the damaging effects witness daily I'd have to agree there needs to be a limit on childbirth.
