Madoka.....That is ridiculous! Do you know what the reasons behind the decisions were?


In a nutshell, their argument was that there is a slippery slope to full-blown eugenics. We're just racing ever faster to the society envisioned in Idiocracy.



to stop two retards who could never handle these brats in the real world, I say slip away.... Wink



this looks like a story to be the shield of pre-Clintonj democrats..... definitely a time when the cost of a BJer from a fat chick was more than worth the outcome! Very Happy

Do you think you're being funny? Calling people "retards" says more about your intellectual level than it does the people you are insulting.

It's been said before - you have to provide an application and references to adopt a homeless dog from a shelter but anyone can have a kid.

Ridiculous.


Agree. When I used to work for child protective services I had a lady on my case who had 8 children taken from her because they were all crack babies yet we couldn't forcibly have her tubes tied.

Sickened me beyond belief.....I'm trying to put that chapter of my life behind me thank you very much!

I cannot agree with this more strongly. I've never understood why you need a license to sell hot dogs and yet anyone is allowed to be a parent. Madness.


I would guess the ACLU had some hand in it.

I remember reading a case in law school about two severely mentally handicapped patients. They needed full time, live-in care at a medical center at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. At some point they figured out how to have sex with each other and started making babies every year. They were unable to understand the significance of their sexual activities and could not care for their children whatsoever. Doctors testified that they could only ever produce severely retarded babies who too would require a lifetime worth of fulltime care. So the staff tried to give them contraceptives and the ACLU stepped in to fight tooth and nail to make sure that they could reproduce at will. Nice.


Like the time I was at university hanging around outside a professor's office waiting for them to show up and read a poster condemning parents of children with Down syndrome for manipulating them into consenting to be sterilized. Despite the people being unable to care for themselves, they still had to be the ones to make the decision - not the parents who would end up having to take responsibility for any accidents.

It made me feel very thankful for prenatal testing and abortion.
