[quote=Anonymous]Should welfare recipients be required not to have children while on welfare?

Hmmm...

Required how?
Are we talking about forcing recipients to take some sort of birth control as a prerequisite for payment?
How would we implement and enforce that?

Is this prerequisite only for women?
Are we talking about solely forcing female welfare recipients to stop having more kids than they can afford or would this apply to men also who are on welfare and making babies?
How would we implement and enforce that?

How would this law/rule be imposed without violating individual rights?
Putting the basic human right to reproduce aside, what about religion?
If someone's faith prohibits them from taking birth control medication would they be denied welfare because of their refusal to compromise their beliefs?

Lots of questions surrounding this.
Too many questions that don't have simple answers.
I don't see it happening.
In broad theory it sounds like a great idea but when you get down and dirty into the specifics and the logistics of the matter its just too prickly to push forward.[/quote]
