Thats why I said, only in the extreme cases. I honestly wouldn't what to do if that happend, I didn't think it trough THAT far ahead. I have no idea on what would be a peacefull sollution to it. I guess I'l have to owe you that one.
And it wouldn't be like strict 'you miss one point so you fail' test. In fact, most average families would probably easily pass it.
The idea for a child licence isn't necicerily to restrict the majority of people from having kids, it's more to restrict that other small percentage that shouldn't be able to have kids. Rapists, murderers, criminals, ect. These people don't have the 'right' to bear kids, at least they shouldn't have.
That's what it would be mainly for, to put a restriction on that side.
Hmm, okay then. I can definitely agree with rapists. murderers, and other people who commit severe crimes having their right to raise children provoked. But that's usually the case anyway. Their children are taken away from them before they're put into jail.

At the moment, I'm feeling a bit more open to this. I've shifted my perspective a bit from how much I want children and being all defensive about someone possibly taking that dream from me, to how much I love children in general and care about their well-being. I often see parents who I think deserve to have their children taken from them... But the alternative, foster homes, can be just as bad because the social workers don't study the conditions well enough. Sad, sad world...
