I do, I think the government should ONLY have to be responsible for 1, or 2 children. any beyond that, and the irresponsible parents should be held accountable, financially.I say this because My cousin is pregnant with her 7th child,she has NO JOB. her husband works as little as possible.and yet all her kids have insurance, welfare and FOOD STAMPS up the WAZOO. and she wants more.... so she can continue to get more welfare. I work full time, and My husband works full time. We have 2 kids that we are struggling to raise on our own.How is this FAIR?
 
I agree with you. I don't feel that you should be able to recieve benifits for having children. Mistake or not, if you're mature enough to have sex, you best be mature enough to raise a child. I don't feel the government should pay for these children when the parents don't work to the fullest of their ability. It's wrong, because you see so many honest americans trying to make a living for themselves and their family, and the government seems to help lazy people more than they help the people keeping this economy going. I don't believe there should be a law on how many children you have, because it would be difficult to put a punishment to that. If they take the child away, that's one more innocent life in foster care. If they arrest you, that's still another child in foster care. I believe they need to stop handing out OUR tax dollars to people who don't deserve it. People who sit around collecting checks for all their children, and turn around and waste it anyway. I'm not against government support. I believe that if you truely do everything you can to be financially stable, and you just flat out can't do it, then you have every right to accept help. It's so sad that people bring children into this world for such petty reasons.
 
Personally, I think childbearing should be a privilege, not a right. But people nowadays have this backward inside-out notion that it's okay to have as many kids as you can afford, but when somebody else who has done the same thing loses their job or their spouse, it's okay to scream at them that they should never have had the kids. You can't have it both ways. ∠°)
 
No, absolutely not. If you are talking about welfare moms, then I do agree that they should not be paid to have unlimited children without providing some support from the fathers of their children. The government pays for all these welfare children and all those of the illegals who are here; for food stamps, housing, health care, schooling, college funding and it is insane. There should be a limit on how many can be covered. You play and keep reproducing, then you are on your own. Welfare assistance should be temporary, just like unemployment; you get so much and then you are on your own. We are struggling to make ends meet and all of the welfare cases are breaking our backs; we can't keep doing this. Obama is putting out more money for this cause and it is insane!! I work two jobs; my husband is laid off and can't find work; we have no hospitalization and don't even think about trying for welfare. We do the right thing and don't sit around waiting for the government to supply our every need. We are responsible and they should be too.
 
Pretty sore subject as the maternal instinct is to have kids yet our world is getting crowded and getting to the point where it will be unable to feed those kids.We should be thinking about it though,soon.
 
While I don't think there should be a law saying how many we can have I like your idea of laws stating the government will only help financially for ONE child.
