      "You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog. You need a license to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they’ll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father. " - Keanu Reeves as Tod Higgins, Parenthood (1989).

        I hear taking candy from them is easy too. I’m too scared to try though.

      Plus, now we’re not allowed to abort them even if we know we don’t have the mental, emotional, or financial capacity to take care of them, and it looks like they are trying to make contraceptives illegal again, so I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more and more stories like this.

        Yeah it hurts the future generations the most. More adults that need therapy, but don’t get it and hurt others.

          Because demographics.

          If there won’t be enough children, there won’t be anyone to sustain the economy as we retire.

          Not only will this make us work to death, but also the decreased productivity and natural death will generally tank the economy down very badly.
