You have to know that this would exacerbate the problem since there is a new infant tying mom down to take care of.

I mean she could always refuse and not receive state money. No civil rights would be violated either way.

The cost of that shot would outweigh the cost kicked out for a newborn. That's for sure.

So you don't see any similarity to chinese child producing policy?

I agree with all the bit about not wanting someone on welfare to keep producing children. To me welfare should be a safety net, not an alternative wage source to allow people to become parasites. There are lots of things wrong with the system including the minmum wage being so low discouraging people with families from working...but that's a different subject.
Linking mandatory contraception to welfare payments, no matter how it's justifed, leads us down the chinese human rights road we condemn.

Nnnnno it doesn't.

Our government would not be saying that women simply cannot have kids.

Our government would be saying that they don't want women having kids that the government must pay for while the woman is trying to get on her feet.

It is sensationalist to say it parallels the Chinese.

A - Woman receives welfare, is looking for a job, gets pregnant, needs more welfare, harder to look for a job.

B- Woman receives welfare, had the shot, looks for a job, no more money is kicked out by the state, doesn't have a kid (or more kids) to take care of while receiving de mooney

Doing this helps curb the cycle welfare. Come on man get on board. It's an original Busyman idea. Write yo congress(wo)man and shit.
