Most people with BPD don't know they've got it, and neither does any authority. You'd be creating a system where people would avoid getting medical care because the government would take their kids away. A system where only those people who show up on the radar lose their kids (and current laws are already able to remove them if the kids are abused).
Getting legally involved in domestic issues is incredibly difficult, even without mental health being involved. There is no way to do what you're asking without being an oppressive police state engaging in surveillance and eugenics.
And why stop at BPD? What about those kids with abusive parents who aren't BPD? Where does it end? Where do the kids go? There already aren't enough foster parents to go around, and life as a ward of the state is far worse than life with most BPD parents.
