ibm, what I was saying is that people who abuse or murder children should not have the privilege of raising a child. What kind of person could do that to a child and live with themselves. Sterilization goes hand in hand with the abortion question. If more people were sterilized there would be fewer people and less abortion. Abortion in itself should not be made illegal. I just think people should know all the facts before getting one and if your family consists of 3 children and you don't want anymore then you should be sterilized. It doesn't change your life just keeps you from having to make other decisions

No one should have more children than they can comfortably raise by themselves. I worked with a girl who had one child, was getting state help with that child and then became pregnant again and insisted she had the "right" to have as many children as she wanted even though my taxes went to pay for them. I worked with another girl who had a child, knew she could support only one and had no more. I liked the second person so much more because she had a sense of responsibility to that child.

The story of the woman giving money for sterilization was on CBS news about 3 years ago. I don't know if it's archived or you can find it in Google. I thought she had a great idea and it was voluntary. She only paid them about $100 each and the ACLU said they would only spend it on drugs and be deprived of the privilege of having children I believe children, old people and sick people need protection from society and the others can fend for themselves. .
