    This is the kinda shit that makes me wonder why the fuck we don’t create something like a “Parenting License”

    I know it is borderline eugenics and could probably be abused to high fucking hell, but still

      Because it will be immediately abused by the people who provide the licenses and be used as a method of preventing certain groups from procreating. At the end of the day, sex is a natural human behavior, possibly even the main behavior we strive towards when it comes to our collective survival. Putting bureaucracy might sound good at fixing certain issues, but it will ultimately cause way more problems than it could ever hope to solve.

      A better solution would be a mandatory parenting course that if you fail numerous times would require you to have some sort of government influence on the child’s upbringing so that you don’t just spend all the welfare money you get on your dependents on your meth habit.

        The opposite situation is also an issue. The government should not force you to have kids if you don’t want to/ won’t be able to properly care for them.
