Life is too precious for irresponsibility
A few weeks a go I wrote an article that discussed the topic of child reproduction and a Louisiana senator that is looking to pay poor men and women to have their tubes tied or for men to receive a vasectomy. I had quite a few responses so I wanted to make myself perfectly clear on where I stand.
I have a friend that thinks all male children should be required to have a vesectomy at the time of circumcision at birth. If people think I'm communist, what does this sound like? I do, however, have some interesting ideas as to why this issue is important to the world and the future of it.
First things first - a life is the most precious thing on the face of this earth. Whether it be yours, mine or an unborn child's, it is a fragile thing that must be taken care of with proper care or it could end up living a life of poverty and hunger. I believe that people need help from the government so I certainly do not disagree with the welfare system. On the other hand, if you have one baby, on welfare and are getting pregnant a second or third or even fourth time, why should hard working men and women continue helping you out when you know you can't afford the one life you are currently in charge of? Much less paying for more?
Love is a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, most people do not know what the word love means. They don't even know themselves much less love themselves. The term "I love you" gets thrown around carelessly all too much these days and many children are born under this feeling of fake emotions. So what happens when 19 year old Sally gets pregnant with Joe that really doesn't love her but only lusts after her? Does their baby deserve a life of feuding between parents that never really loved each other? Does it deserve to grow up in a home that lacks food just because the parents weren't responsible enough?
On top of all of these ideas, what happens when this child grows up and enters the adult stage? I will tell you what happens a majority of the time, they become as their parents. The ways of government life wear off on them and puts even more strain on the rest of the world.
Poverty, hunger, abortion, etc. What more could we put an end to?
I will help anyone that wants to help themselves.

You really ought to "pick" your friends better. A vasectomy at circumcision! Wow! That would been all the girls would have old guys for husbands in the future! How gross is that? Anyway, "planned parenthood" was built on the premise that these things should be controlled. Population control - especially pf the undesirables such as the poor - was the master plan. It was only a small step from stopping the conception to killing the "product" when "birth control" did not work. If those of covenant communities - religious groups mainly - would eschew "birth control" (as the Roman Catholic Church does) then believers would soon outnumber the pagans who want to limit the population! Another factor, or course, is having the mother in the home for the first three to six years. Eighty per cent of what a child becomes is a result of what they learn in these years. Children, raised by stay-at-home moms, will grow up more healthy in so many ways. And the mothers, out of the workforce, leave jobs open for the fathers. It is the way it should be. Oh my, have I written a sexist, politically incorrect statement? Oops.
