[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What "dis-incentives" should society place on people to deter them from having children they cannot possibly care for?

In immigration law, there are provisions to prevent people from emigrating to the U.S. if they are "likely to become a public charge" (ie - dependent on welfare to survive).

Why are there so few provisions applicable to US citizens?[/quote]

What do you suggest? Before the state issues a birth certificate, each parent must present their most recent tax return for public inspection, and if their income is below a certain limit, they get 40 lashes? Plus an extra 20 if the mother refuses to provide the name of the biological father?

The willingness of affluent people to place restrictions on the liberty of poor people is astonishing.[/quote]

Oh FFS.

The willingness of liberals to take money from the hard-working, middle class and redistribute it to people who continue to make shitty decisions is pretty astonishing.  [/quote]

"Liberals" and "hard-working middle class" are actually overlapping categories. They're not mutually exclusive.

If you can think of a way that would effectively disincentivize poor people (women and men) from having children while also

1. not punishing the children
2. not unconstitutionally restricting liberty
3. being acceptable to the many people who believe that the government should restrict access to contraception and abortion

you should immediately get in touch with your state and federal elected officials.

Mandatory birth control if you are accepting public assistance.

You can still choose NOT to be on birth control, but then you cannot get public assistance.
