Exactly.A government that determines who is allowed to procreate and who is not is absolutely horrifying.
I had a NICU nurse think that about me. Since she never saw me there, visiting, she assumed that I never visited. She figured I didn't care and when he came home, I wouldn't have a clue what to do. She didn't realize that I wasn't allowed to drive and I had to rely on someone else to transport me to the hospital. That meant that I only there from 8am until 7pm. (yes, 11 hours a day) While I am sure that there are NICU parents that are clueless, please remember that you are only seeing these parents at their worst.In theory, yes. As a NICU nurse, I've see a LOT of crappy parents and sent babies home to them just knowing how hard their life will be. The one good part about them having a baby in the NICU for any length of time, is that we have mandatory education pieces that the parents need to do before discharge, and we can spend more time with them trying to teach them to be better parents, but in the end, their baby will go home with them and they can do as they please.
Could you imagine?If this was implemented, I'm sure it would never be used for evil, ever.

Handmaiden's Tale anyone?A government that determines who is allowed to procreate and who is not is absolutely horrifying.
Handmaiden's Tale anyone?
First thing that popped into my head reading this thread.Watch The Handmaid's Tale or the actual news on overly policed countries and see how steps like you suggest work out.
No- I have no desire to live in dystopia.
Even if that was something I would want (and it IS NOT) there is no way to enforce this. Even if the government were to force birth control on all of childbearing age there is still the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy.
I honestly don't know how this can possibly be possible. Many pregnancy are unintended. What happens in those cases? When a woman/couple become pregnant but do not have a "permit?"
1,000 times no.
You've lived long.I’m actually in favor of providing a financial incentive to habitual crack moms for going on long term birth control. I think it would save money.
Yes, I know, crack, meth, heroin - these poor babies. I do have sympathy for the addicts, but it would be nice to have these pregnancies not happen.You've lived long.
It's now opioid mothers you should worry about and as you can see the song remains the same.
