Theoretically, not realistically, I could get behind it, but notice I said mandatory birthcontrol. Actually I've thought about this with abortion, if a woman is having a lot of them, using them like post birth control they should be court ordered to recieve BC, one of those shots that lasts 3 months or whatever, if they don't show up for appointments to get the doses, they get fined. They could do the same thing, all women, mandatory birth control. Totally theoretical though, would never happen. Anybody that thinks it could probably wears tin foil hats.
I'd say give them $1,000 and a free surgical (reversible) procedure for either male or female to make them surgically sterile. That's a far cheaper option and much more acceptable one to society. It's not mandatory but voluntary, and a chance to get $1,000 tax free. Now, if a couple want to have babies they will have to pay for the reversible procedures themselves which could cost ten to twenty times more over. It's far more cheaper option for the govt to do this than to spend money on welfare mothers/fathers of kids or care for unwanted babies. The savings would began to be realized in a variety of ways a few years down the road and would gradually get better once it gets fully implemented and mainstreamed.
There ARE a lot of uncomfortable links between the CI companies and AG BAD
You see what you want to. Companies are in business to make money, that's not inherently evil. If a product gives access to sound, it not surprising, or even remotely underhanded or whatever ebilness you want to see, that they'd advertise somewhere that stresses and importance on oral communication. They'd be stupid not to.
It's not just advertising...there's a lot more uncomfortable links.....
Wasn't the topic why some Deaf persons don't want to be "fixed"- presumably referring to Cochlear Implants?
I am not sure "poor/blind/persons in wheelchairs" fit that criteria?
