Why is it that those who want us to help poor countries continue to allow them them to have children?

Question

Shouldn't they be required to be fixed in order to receive more welfare?

Answer 1

That would be violating their rights and hurting the country. You don't get rid of people to save a country.

Answer 2

A sound statement... but as others point out it would be a violation of rights to prohibit those poor folks from having children. The children MIGHT just succeed and support them in their old age... or even be the one who cures cancer.

China has an enforced population control problem and we rail against them for it !!

An interesting bit of US History... in 1986-88 time frame, some bright accountants in the US Military noted the BILLIONS the government had to pay for young recruits who had children within their first enlistment... and the BILLIONS of LOST work (dollars) when females had to be transfered into "light-duty" positions. There was a move to have NORPLANT (a implanted birth-control) used on ALL female recruits during their first enlistment... it was SMASHED by the Democrats (Colorado Representative Pat Schroeder).

Now your SECOND half of the question is strange... the US government doesn't PAY welfare to those in other countries.

Answer 3

That would make too much sense.It happens in the U.S.If you can't afford to raise a child,you should be attaining the means to do so,instead of laying around having sex in between Jerry Springer episodes.

Answer 4

Because birth rate of the country was not a condition when the aid or aid loans were provided.

Answer 5

You need a heart-fix!
Help people, if that is what you're going to do, and stop bellyaching!

Answer 6

no but i think there should be a limit
