Re: weirdest things you've found out about friends

I don't think anyone should ever be forcibly sterilized, and would fight to prevent my own country from employing draconian measures such as those used in, say, China.

However, I do think there's a reasonable threshold beyond which governments should stop offering tax incentives and such for additonal kids, and start offering readily available free birth control, education, and free voluntary sterilization (with appropriate counseling, waiting periods, etc.) instead. Possibly even with incentives to accept them and tax penalties for those whose fecundity truly gets out of hand. Not just for the poor, either. It's not only about whether or not someone can financially support kids, it's also about finite resources and an environment that's already straining to support the population we now have.

In an ideal world, these things would not be factors, and I would happily say that anyone who hasn't already decisively proven themselves an unfit parent should be able to have as many kids as they desire and can support (with or without help from the state.) But Mother Nature and the laws of physics are unfortunately not going to change their tunes just because some humans cried, "But bodily autonomy!"
