Because it’s a delicate subject. Giving someone the power to decide who is and is not allowed/able/encouraged to have babies is scary stuff for many people.

- Razengan 8y agoWe already have a LOT of laws decide who is and is not allowed/able/encouraged to have a LOT of other very basic rights: Food, shelter, healthcare, education, sex.
- natch 8y agoYes... that’s right. Good luck doing that with procreation in anything but a dictatorship type government.
- crumpets 8y agoOther than the last one, those are entitlements requiring the government provide you with things, not rights.
- Razengan 8y agoMaybe putting the point in different words will resonate better: There are already numerous examples of authority stepping in to “save people from themselves.”

- natch 8y agoIn the end it costs me money, time, and grief to fix your screwups. Example: people who don’t vaccinate can cause problems for the rest as diseases spread more quickly and with greater impact than otherwise. Clear?
