what do you do when you are confronted by a woman who has a major drug and alcohol problem, and who has had 7 children already taken into state care? isn't there a case then for actually paying her not to have more children? especially when her children are already costing the state several million dollars per annum as a result of their need for care and their associated mental health and schooling problems?

I've seen a lot about this nonsense, and the conclusion I've come to is
this:
Yes, it's horrifying that there are people who think like this, and that
there are people who will vote people who think like this into office. But
the reality is, this is just some crackpot idea that a legislator has come
up with. He hasn't actually proposed the legislation yet (as far as I
know), and even if he did, there's not any chance of it passing. In short,
I think that this is (yet another) opportunity to be all fired up and
horrified about something that is ultimately fairly meaningless.
