I am a firm believer that people should have to require a license before they are able to breed. They should have to take parenting courses, and fill out some type of paper work that proves they will be able to raise a child in a comfortable upbringing. I have been bombarded this week by stories of people having children out of wedlock with numerous partners. On the radio, in magazine articles, and a particularly close-to-home story of a co-worker of mine. I think it is fantastic if you want to have a child because you have all the love and means that it takes to raise them. I don't really care how you go about procreating in those particular cases. But when you get pregnant intentionally to trap a man, or the make yourself feel better about the life you are living, or because you are some skeezy guy who doesn't want to wear a condom it is a sad sad situation for that child. I can only hope that one day I will be able to be a father and there are people running around out there getting knocked up, or knocking people up for sport. It is ridiculous. I think that being a parent is the hardest job in the world...shouldn't you have to meet certain qualifications before you are allowed to enter that career? Think about it.
