Playing Devils Advocate here, nothing says they have to answer the questions honestly. Its a stupid idea by retarded govermental types and often the best way to deal with them is to let them think they are doing good and quietly work around them

That would play into the anti-choice people's deepest prejudices if they were found out to be lying..."dishonest ho's" lying about themselves, would delight the anti-choice, anti-feminist cadre who want to make it more shaming, more difficult to get an abortion. They could point at the women who lied on an official document and say, "proof, proof! they are just like that amazing archetype, the welfare mom..."

Of course, conservatives never lie to themselves, government, the public, their minister...

QAnd I doubt they would see the irony in it when its the welfare crack mom who keeps spitting out kids who is the one should be either having abortions or forcibly sterilized

Enforcing sterilization is way too authoritarian for me.

However, making a family planning clinic available every 6-10 blocks in the inner cities, and more easily accessible in the rural areas, this would be of the good.

Sex has to be un-demonised, made sacred, and let loose of it's conservative reactionary chains.

That won't happen, but at least we could try to make sexual education reasonable and rational, which of course won't shift everybody's lives--but what if 100% of the young teens had access to a nurturing, non-judgemental environment that was tailored towards their culture? What if 70-80% were reasonable about sex, birth, parenthood? What if they decided to take some responsibility because they were educated?

This would transform our whole society.

Most kids are alright.
They just need the right support and environment.
Many already have parents or somebody who loves them, and with a little better infrastructure and access to real healthcare, I bet most of the young people would make informed decisions

That is a truly horrifying article. Wow. I'm constantly amazed at how close minded people still are in this day and age.

[normaltrouble]

In the middle of the country, there are quite a few states where they make it nearly impossible to find an abortion clinic, let alone afford getting a procedure.

They "work around" Roe vs. Wade like it wasn't there.

[timeasmymeasure]

It's obscene.
Obscene.

Perhaps next women will have to wear brands...for our various transgressions.
