Should You Need a License to Parent?

In the United States of America you need a license to:

  • Sell alcohol
  • Run a business
  • Drive a car
  • Fish
  • Fly an Airplane

Why doesn’t the same logic (good reasoning ability, proven aptitude, etc) apply to adding more people to the planet?

After all, people’s decision to have children drive the direction of the country.  If you have kids and choose to be a dead beat, WE (hard working citizens) have to pay for your imbecility.

I’ve heard many reasons to have kids and they really don’t add up:

  • hormones got the best of me when I was unprotected
  • my religion doesn’t allow for birth control
  • biological clock is ticking
  • we have to continue the family name
  • my parents want to be grandparents

None of these are really solid reasons to bring another person into this world.

So what do you think….

If a license to marry is required, should we also have a license to create children?
