    Not in the sense that you have proposed. You can't force someone to undergo a surgical procedure, much less sterilization. That is grossly unlawful and actually represents a crime against human rights and falls under eugenics protocols.

    What you can do is incentivize people who have 1 or 2 children and tax the **** out of people who have more.

    The way the system works now, the more kids you have the more benefits and tax deductions you can claim. I know a guy who has fathered 7 kids just so that he can get like $12,000-$14,000 back in taxes each year. It shouldn't work like that.

    lol The Chinese rolled that way. Now they're in a demographic hole that they CANNOT get out of - too rich for words!

    Here children, picture this:

    Walter and Mabel have one child - we'll call her Jane.

    Pedro and Maria have one child - we'll call him Frank.

    Jane and Frank have one child - we'll call him George.

    George meets Wanda (an only child herself) and they have one child - we'll call him Charles.

    Kids, what you have now is this (watch closely!):

    One child, Charles, is going to have to look after...wait for it now!...EIGHT PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS! And god forbid all these parents had their children young, 'cause then poor ol' Charlie gonna be lookin' after some GREAT GRANDPARENTS, too! Ah swear, youngsters, ain't binary arithmetic jist swell!?!

    Brilliant idea, that one child thang is, as long as only your enemy rolls that way!

    Oh, and here's an extra-special, extra-credit question:

    How is ol' Charlie gonna pay enough Social Security and Medicare taxes to support ALL of his old relatives?

    And that concludes our afternoon lesson for the day, kids. Now go outside and play inna da street!

    No. Under no circumstances. I don't believe in healthy bodies being violated. I would strongly oppose it and fight to the death to remain intact - as God put me on earth. However, I do believe it in certain circumstances but, not normal healthy individuals. There are alternatives - being extra careful and an abortion.

    I would support it for low income who have to rely on assistance to feed their families.

    Women should be sterilized after they've had an abortion. Abortion is murder. Abortion is racial genocide.
