The only thing I can figure out is that they look at China, and are afraid that if they start down that path - will they wind up in the same place (I don't think so, but what do I know, I'm just a mother, not an all-knowing politician trying to line my own pockets.) <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
But, seriously, in China they have the situation where women abort babies because it is not the sex child they wanted because they only are allowed 1, maybe 2 children. Then sterilization is enforced.
Surely there must be some happy medium between the two.
I remember when I was still working in surgery doing a tubal ligation on a 19 year old girl who already had 5 children. 19 !!!!! And ya'll do not want to know how filthy this woman was - so I can only imagine what her children looked like (she was a postpartum ligation - she came in right after her birth). And yes, she was on welfare and Medicare.
Like I said - where is the happy medium, and who ha the right to enforce it? <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
