Good on you, and good on them; it sounds like, from the outside, many are contributing parties in society.
Maybe I used the wrong term "child of the state" as it references orphans who are orphaned because of their parents died or some other reason. What I meant by "child of the state" is a child growing up in a home paid by section 8, with presumably 1 parent, that qualifies for WIC, is receiving welfare and has an EBT card, and also receives thousands of dollars back in earned income credit when they file their taxes. When the state supports a family like that, burdening everyone else, they are a child/family of the state.
Had the father sold himself for $1000, generations upon generations would not be sucking the life out of this country. It's not an abortion either, it's killing the ability to reproduce, period. If someone would take $1000 for that now, years down the road, we would be in a hell of a better shape.
And, hell, bank their sperm while you're at it. If they want a vasectomy reversal when they can afford it and try to be a good parent, then they can do it. If the reversal doesn't work, their sperm has been banked for free, but they must pay for the invitro treatment as well.
Never gonna happen. But it should. It's population control that would work the finest.
