Wayne, I have not read the part of the Constitution that specifically states that you have the right to have sex or pro-create. Could you please point me to it. Laws are enacted primarily to protect the citizens of a country. Sadly, children are the least protected citizens of our country. One of the best predictors to determine how a child will turn out is by evaluating parental attitudes and interaction with the child(ren). If parental interaction is lacking or negative, shouldn't the state step in to protect the child. Children are our nation's most important and valuable resource. They should be protected. It is them, who can make our country greater, or destroy it. Too many children's lives have been destroyed by bad parenting.
We do not have absolute freedom. Certain freedoms are restricted for the best interest of the public. If ending a cycle of being bad and/or unproductive citizens can correct this, by either restricting a person's ability to pro-create, or removing a child from an unfit parent, then it should be done. By not doing this the financial, and emotional pain felt by society will continue to grow. It is these children, who if not rescued, that will cost society. Many of these children are born with the ability to be great citizens, unfortunately, Thieu parents destroy their potential.
We can see that society and the state are failing our children. Today, there are more children with learning issues and behavioral problems than ever before. Why is this? It is because of changes in basic parenting. The other day, I was speaking with a child psychologist who works for a local school district. He told me there are many parents that feel that it is not Thieu responsibility to educate Thieu child, it is the school's responsibility. Soon I guess we can expect this segment of society will expect that it is the states responsibility to clothe, feed and house them (oh, I guess that is called our current welfare system). The sad part is that this attitude is extending to other segments of our society especially the younger members of adult society.
One way of correcting this is though education of the parents. If parents are unwilling or un-able to improve, then the state and society needs to step in and take custody of the children. And those who have shown that they can not adequately care for children should be prevented from having more.
The problems we are encountering today, I attribute to acceptance of liberal parenting styles.
The bottom line is that society and the state do not do enough to protect the welfare of children.
As far as the ACLU discussion, I really do not have the time to adequately research the topic.
Sorry, if this post is bit choppy at times, but I was typing it as I was playing with my two and three year old children.
