Having kids is a human right. That should be the end of the discussion. Anyone, rich or poor, is
* entitled to have children [1]
* entitled to financial and other aid to raise those children safely and securely [2]
[1] UDHR, Article 16, paragraph (1) http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/#a16
[2] UDHR, Article 25, paragraph (2) http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/#a25
Since the US has signed these treaties, and unless it intends to back out, there can be no government policy that does not follow these articles.
- clarkm 13y agoWhy is calling something a "human right" and pointing to some UN declaration any different than calling something a "God-given right" and pointing to the Bible?

- s_kilk 13y agoIt's different in that the UN demonstrably exists.
- waps 13y agoThat the UN exists does not explain the reason behind the policies. That's like saying the bible is true because the printer exists, or the church, which is of course trivially true. That some organisation is behind a document does not make it true or false. And keep in mind that the League of nations (the creators of the UN) came forth from the Red cross, which was a division of the army that guards of the pope.
