I dont care what anyone says.

Why marry & have kids in the first place? Technology has freed us from the need to be slaves to our biology. The world is down to what, its last 6.5 billion people? lol
The vast majority of people make absolutely no contribution to society by breeding.
I saw a USA Today poll once which said that something like 65% of people who had actually raised kids either regretted having them in the first place, or had become ambivalent to their breeding decision.
I think people have as little a fundamental right to inflict their spawn upon the rest of society as they do whatever other mindless, hormone driven urges they may have.
The myth (mostly propogated by right wingers) that becoming a parent somehow enobles people has much more to do with the low income breeding problem in this country than Democrats.
