Mandatory Temporary sterilization of teenagers & Permanent for welfare mothers.?

Question

I been rolling this around in my head. We in this country have the technology to stop Teen pregnancy cold. If every girl at the age of 12 was implanted with IUD or given Depo-Provera shot the numbers would fall dramatically. Almost a million teenage girls become pregnant every year. This is more stress and strain on the system and kids that aren't needed for anything. It would also cut down on the number of abortions making the nut jobs happy.

I also believe any women applying for welfare or any benefits applying to a newborn child should be sterilized in order to be allowed to receive benefits. This will also stop her from being a further drain on the system. This would also work towards population control.

I don't know i just feel this would be a good start at stopping the drain on the system that these monkey's cause.

Answer 1

And the males bear their burden of responsibility how in this plan??

Answer 2

Wow. Hitler would be proud of you.

You could reduce teen preganancies by having proper sex ed rather than the current "absinance only" policies which studies have shown time and again are the least effective programmes to use. Teaching responsibility is a lot more effective, followed up by accepting that many teens will have sex anyway, and that you should be educating them to do it safely, and use contraception.

PLUS - it takes two to create a baby - why are you only going after the females. Why not make every boy from the age of 10 take chemical castration pills and every man going anywhere near a welfare office get a vasectomy? You somehow down on women?

Why should being poor or unfortunate remove your right to have children? Most people are on welfare for a short time anyway before finding a new job. Many are put in that situation because the erosion of workers' rights in the US over the last 30 years has meant that in many cases it is cheaper sacking someone who becomes pregnant rather than covering maternity leave etc - hardly the woman's fault is it. A better use of resources would be to support people who need to fall back on the social security safetly net and provide training so that those who can work have the best change of getting a new job. Sadly both the Clinton administration and the Bush administration massively cut funding to programmes that would do just this.

Answer 3

Do you think there would be an impact on teen STD rates, also possibly putting strain on the system? Also, consider the effect of a rapidly aging population. Who would support seniors who are no longer working if 50% of their children are never born? This is a problem already faced by Japan and China.

Also, what would prevent someone from then suggesting that blacks/hispanics/poor also be sterilized, since they commit more crimes and are a greater strain on the system? You're on a slippery Orwellian slope.

Answer 4

I've always agreed that any man or woman applying for welfare needs to go onto some kind of birth control until they are not on welfare anymore. If schools are going to give the pill away to teenaged girls, geez, why don't welfare offices give them away to welfare moms?

Answer 5

That’s a tuff thing to actually try to implement because it’s a slippery slope. What’s next? If you’re a guy that has 2 kids out of wedlock you get castrated? What about the father in these instances? Do they get castrated? Do you really want to go down that road?

Answer 6

Well, other then basically becoming th society from "1984", it might work. But why stop there? Why not sew fat people's mouths shut? Lets cut the arms off anyone convicted of a violent crime. Lets cut the feet off of anyone who runs from the cops. Lets give lobotomies to anyone who commits white collar crime.

What you are doing is creating a very peaceful, low-crime, cheap and easy society...with no freedom and liberties.

Answer 7

I like your thinking, but I would take it further. Mandatory, reversible sterilization at birth for everyone, everywhere in the world. Sterilization could and would only be reversed when two consenting adults wished to reproduce (two children max) and could pass an exhaustive battery of tests to determine their parenting skills.

Answer 8

Cannot legally be done -- because reproductive choice is a fundamental right, and the govt is not allowed to determine that someone cannot have a child if they choose to.

That's the flip side to the abortion debate -- the same fundamental legal right that allows someone to stop a pregnancy is the same right that allows someone to get pregnant -- whether the govt approves or not.

Take one away, and you take away all reproductive rights -- and the govt has the final say over who can be a parent.

Answer 9

Read Mein Kampf.

He had the same thoughts and ideas about it.....didn't work for him, either. Unfortunately, millions died at his hands before the world stopped him.

We are a free people...free to make mistakes and free to determine our own futures and make decisions about our own bodies.

Answer 10

Sounds like an okay plan. But first you would need to find out why the mother would need wealthfare. Is it becuase she just doesn't have enough money or becuase she's lazy and doesn't want to work. That kind of stuff would need to be investagted. As for the teen pregancy thing. What would you do about the men. I mean I would be pissed if I had to do that and the boys didn't have to do anything. They should find a way for guys to not be able to have babies for awhile and just do everyone. beucase you know girls are dumb and will belives the if you love me lie.

Answer 11

You're a real humanitarian. Your not the first to come up with this idea, genius. I believe his name was Hitler. Mebbe you've heard of him. He just wanted to control peoples lives a little by getting rid of Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, and anyone else that didn't agree with him. For the good of everybody. Well, everybody that was left, anyway.
His plan didn't work out so well.
