I know that there’s no chance of a rational dialogue around this, but I always find it ironic that society required licenses for driving and firearm ownership in most places, because its considered a responsibility and a “privilege” rather than a “right” while no such licensing is required for bringing a child into the world which is arguably the greatest responsibility a human being can take.

This hits at my point about seeing generations of folks on public assistance. I also worked at a home for kids in the foster care system. The long term issue is dealing somehow with folks who keep reproducing who can't take care of themselves let alone kids. Idiocracy coming true. How is that addressed? Incentives to go on long term birth control? My daughter recently adopted a rescue dog through a "boutique" rescue in Seattle that brings dogs in from high kill areas like Texas. The hoops they jumped through to get approved as dog parents boggle the mind yet having a human baby is a right no one can intervene in.....
