Ok. I hope you have kids yourself. You know what? maybe some people do not deserve to have children but people I grew up with that were some of the laziest people thet did bad in school and I never thought would be good parents have turned out to be some of the best. Having kids in most cases changes the way people think. And until you actually have kids you could not understand it. People want to do better and give their kids everything in the world. So a license no but I think that maybe in high school there should be some required classes besides health class to help you realize what having a baby means to you. And are there studies that show people who take parenting classes do much better than anyone else??

what do you propose we do with the children of those unlicensed folks who have sex?

You could push for such a law. Of course you’d have to toss out the US Constitution first.

True that some people do not deserve to have children but there is nothing that can be done in preventing it, if they want to have sex we can’t stop them, and sex results in pregnancy. it is a natural thing, that should not be messed with

Not possible. The courts have ruled repeatedly that laws restricting “reproductive rights” are unconstitutional.

No felonies, good jobs, two parent home, no sex crimes, a clean house or nice apartment.

This would be great if there was some way to make it law but there isn’t. But the crimes people commit on their children is horrible and something does need to be done.

I can agree their are plenty out there that shouldn’t have kids, but I DO NOT believe there should be any license. Financial unstability?? What would you do to all the kids that grew up during the depression? Take them away? Financial stability is not promised in this country, and not illegal. You think only the rich should have kids or something???
However, perversion and abuse are illegal and there are channels to report that.
Moral police? Who will decide what is and isn’t moral? You? Not in my country sister, it’s the adults in this house that decide what is right or wrong, you will never. That’s a promise.
I fully agree that an abused, or child in danger, needs to be removed from that situation immediately.
But I’ll be damned if I’ll let you or anyone else regulate or dictate exactly how I should raise my children.
BTW – How many licensed drivers are bad drivers? You think a parent license would be any different?
