This may make me sound bad but in a way I agree. A while back I read a story in the paper about this couple and their kids. The wife was legally mentally retarded and her husband had an IQ that was 5 points above the limit for being legally retarded. For a while they had an apartment, he had a job and they had a life. Then she got pregnant, but didn't know how to care for the kid so the state took it away. A year later the same thing happened and that kid was also taken away.

Then then guy loses his job and they were literally living in a shed and she gets pregnant again and again that kid is taken away. Eventually he gets another job, they get another little apartment and she gets pregnant again. This time she told the state she wanted to keep the kids and they are giving her parenting classes, but she has a long way to go and the social worker said the best she can probably hope for is visitation.

Am I a bastard to think that maybe people like this should have their tubes tied? You know she is going to keep having kids that are going to enter into the system. You have to pass a test to be allowed to drive a car, shouldn't there be some rules put on parenthood?
