I love how this thread has a lot of males wanting mandatory contraceptives (pointed at women, obviously) or sterilization (also pointed at women in this thread), but none electing for voluntary vasectomies. Seriously, which of you have voluntarily undergone a vasectomy to prevent having children? Oh, wait, that's an invasion of your privacy and autonomy.. yet you're okay with forcing women to take hormonal contraceptives, have IUDs placed, or undergo sterilization, to preserve your ideal of a "baby free" society.

Governments do not like the idea of enforcing reproduction limits. Why? Because, even though people moan about supporting people through social programs, the government can't afford to destroy its future tax base. If the population declines, they'll have to increase taxes per capita to maintain the same budget, and no government ever wants to speak those words to its citizens.

The same people who are bitching about overpopulation/babies suck don't seem to be bothered by the government wanting to defund Planned Parenthood, which is a program educating citizens and providing the services these people would rather the government shove down people's throats. If you really cared so much about these issues, why aren't you out there protesting that bill with the *women* who value those services? If the government will defund PP, how do you ever think they'd support a mandatory program of the same services??

If the government ever tries to tell me I have to take hormones until I pass a test to have a kid, I'm rioting and moving elsewhere. No one gets to tell me what I get to do with my own body, especially not my government.

How about vasectomies for everyone at the age of 15, a reversal if you pass a test and want a kid? Hmm?
