    There should be no child support from Tax Payers.

    If you chose to have children, pay for them, don't expect me to fund your Family.

    No.  That won't be necessary.

    Overpopulation arguments were very common before the great population booms in the 50's. But when they happened it turned out making living conditions better, not worse.

    The world’s population is not out of control, the entire world population can fit within Texas, the problem has always been 0.001% of the world’s population taking 99% of its resources.

    No.  Family, love, and children are areas of personal choice that deserve rights and freedom.

    At the very least it should stop discriminating against people who don’t have kids. The only way to get welfare here is to have a bunch of kids.
