Should we have the right to have children if we can't even look after our selves, can't stop abusing drugs?

Update:

I am not a drug user myself & have never been.

    Yes!! Anyone has the right to have children...

    Besides if you're not that great at looking after yrself, then the next best thing is to have children (as many as you can manage) so then they can look after you.. common sense really!!

    Better go, my child is crying and I have another 4 glasses of vino to get through first..

    Hope that helps! And remember, try not to give yrself a hard time over minor flaws.. HEY, no one is perfect!!

    The way the present court system is set up, it favors the woman much more than the child. It does not care that the child is not there by choice but the mother is.

    If any one sold a medicine that was as likely to cause harm to a child as a mother that abuses drugs while pregnant they would be in prison.

    It is a sign of ultimate evil and cruelty to protect a mother that would subject the child to such danger.

    This is not surprising. The number of women that think it is no big deal to raise a child with out a father, or choose the father that is an a-hole, is out of control.

    The way women as a group handle this is simply to lie about the results of what they do and lie as to how cruel they are.

    Absolutely not, and by the way your question is asked I think you know that already. What kind of life could you possibly give a child when you are not valuing yourself?

    If you want a child bad enough, you will find a way to help yourselves first. It's only fair to a child that has no choice.

    I can't believe this is even a question!!!!!!!!!!! Do even have any idea of what a drug baby is like? DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN. Because someone will report you, that you are doing drugs and they will get taken away and put into foster care, so don't even do it.

    Nope. But that is why we have the welfare system. So drugged out mommas can keep popping out ore kids and live off of tax payer money.

    Only God is in charge of the birthing plan. Should you be allowed to raise a child if you can't take of yourself - no.

    No.

    No.

    No.

    But, common sense is lost in these modern times. As the cliche' goes, common sense isn't so common anymore.

    no, anyone shouldn't have kids if they can't afford them or if they use drugs.

    it's not fair to the child.
