No kidding.  I've been pissed at the way American seems to value children so
much when we're overpopulated.
We should be penalizing people for having more than two kids, not rewarding
them.

I firmly believe that every legal American citizen has the right to have one
child.
If you want to marry, you and your wife decide who gives up their allotment
first.
If you get divorced, there is not custody case.  If the child is the result
of your own one allotment, it's your child.  Very simple. No alimony either.

If women want to run around and have a beetle-browed club-footed child from
the first biker who beats the crap out of them when they're 17, fine.  but
they can't have anymore until they find a man who hasn't used up his own one
allotment.  But that first child is hers and she can't pawn him off, give
him away or dispose of him or her at all unless the court takes it away.
Then after she's born her 2nd, using the man's allotment, and her last, her
tubes are tied and his are too.  It's over.  If one of the kids gets run
over or taken away because of bad parenting, too bad.  You never see it
again or get another chance.  You get one chance.
Maybe under this system people might value their children more and wait
longer and make better decisions of whom to father and mother their child
with.
And the man would be especially carefull if the child is his allotment,
because he can't simply abandon and disappear; that's his child not hers and
he has to take care of it.

If you're some silly christian and can't bear the idea of abortion, fine.
Have the child.  We don't care if it's a rape child, an incest child,
whatever, it's not the child's fault.  It's yours.
But you do have the option of abortion up till the 3 trimester then it
becomes a legal human being.

We really must get away from this reward system for the worse of us to have
the most of us.
