The difference is... When you tell somebody that they can't have a baby, you're restricting the use of the reproductive organs. When you tell somebody that they must have a baby (if that person is pregant), you're forcing the use of the reproductive organs.
The government restricts all kinds of actions - driving under a certain age, doing drugs, murder - when the action taken could be detrimental to your own life or somebody else's. Restricting a woman's ability to have a baby does not physically change her body. Forcing her to have one does. - Matt Small ---- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Schmidt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 12:13 PM Subject: Yet another scumbag parent.... > So, when someone is declined for a license, the government is essentially telling them, you can't have kids.
