Should we make it mandatory for all drug users to use birth control???

Answer 1

yes as it is not fair on the unborn child to be born into a life of drugs and drug addiction they should have to be clean for at least 5 years before being considered freedom from birth control

Answer 2

What a stupid question to ask. Have you been on a neo natal unit and seen a pair of druggie parents with their extremely small prem baby all down to their drug habit. Shooting up in the corridors and being allowed to mix on a ward of critically sick babies and other normal parents who are going through hell. Well I have and its something that made me wild with rage to think that the poor child did not ask to come into a world where it had to fight a drug addiction at birth, then only to be put up for adoption because the parents were not capable of looking after the child - that's why you question angers me.

Answer 3

Might bring a problem in the case of peoples rights, and how are you going to back it up, send in police whilst there having sex to check lol.
I think all people should use birth control until there very sure they're ready for a baby, in a stable relationship and have the means to care for that child but it's not possible to force anyone to do somthing or not do something

Answer 4

Don't know how you could possibly enforce it but YES!!!! I am a foster parent & have seen MANY children who are affected by their mother using drugs while pregnant, but the same thing is true with alcohol too! My 3 year old son that we got as a foster child at 2 days old & then adopted is a perfect example - Birthmom was a prostitute, drug addict & alcoholic & he has LOTS of problems due to it. And she abandoned him at the hospital so she didn't have to deal with it.

Answer 5

dont think it works like that,
from those I have met who have done drugs, many of them get preg. by accident, they dont want children, are aware they cannot look after them but dont use birth control, either they dont have any any just "play it lucky" or they forget as they are so out of it on something.

Added to this I have met those who had been dabbling, got pregnent, couldnt go through with a termination, had the child and never touched drugs again as they saw this new life they had as sacred and special and didnt want to do anything to hurt the child they had.-born again if you like. Knowing well the social circle they were involved in, I do not have any doubt their lives would have not have turned out that way with out them taking this decision and changing their lives because of their child.

Answer 6

should we make it mandatory for all
alcohol drinkers
less intelligent than average people
people without proper nutrition knowledge
replubicans
people without a sense of humour
ugly people
etc
to use birth control?

Answer 7

Hey, why stop at "Drug Users"? Let's extend it, and mandate birth control for:

* Ugly people
* Drug Users (all drugs)
* Short people
* People with a low IQ
* People unable to grasp polysyllabic words, or with a limited vocabulary.
* Anti-social and Asocial people
* ...

Is there a word for premeditated genocide?

Answer 8

well, that would be the best thing it can happen, but in reality i think it would be difficult to control. its a great idea if they are using drugs use birth control.

Answer 9

Jeez, good point! I was in hospital with a load of drug addicted mothers and their newborns and oh my god, a baby going through withdrawl is heartbreaking, until the nurse gives it a fix of morphene... Yeah, tie their tubes man!!

Answer 10

i wonder who's "we"..?
i don't think it should be mandatory,..get the problem at the source..,the drugs in the first place,get rid of the drugs..,then it becomes obsolete whether its mandatory or not..
