The rest of your points I can see the logic behind, even if I don't agree with them, but that seems to be way beyond any rational chain of cause and effect and imputes blame where there is none.

I don't believe reproduction is a right. I think the notion that it is a right isn't just silly, but it suggests that people are innately capable of taking care of children. That's obviously not the case.
The reasoning is two fold: one, there is often an association between anti-social behavior and genes (I'm not suggesting environmental factors don't contribute more to anti-social behavior, but genes have been shown to have provided a predisposition), and two, it's a really serious punishment.

Behavioral genetics is something I'm interested in.
