I guess people who are irresponsible with their own lives shouldn't have the right of breed not only Kids but animals. Having kid is a serious issue that not all the people are ready or capable to do it so. Imagine someone who in their regular days has a lot of problems which make them not living properly: Bankruptcy, drug addiction, violence, etc... And then they want have kids? Hmm... I still think it is not the best option in context like this — javi2541997
How would you deal with unsanctioned pregnancy? Would women become criminally liable for the natural functioning of their bodies? Would you be happy ordering terminations of unapproved pregnancies by court order?
I guess it is not about killing humans who already born but preventing the future of some parents (not all true) of having kids if they have lack of responsibility — javi2541997
I already gave my answer as to the difference between beginning a life, and continuing a life that is already here and how ANs would not use the very things they are against (not forcing a situation onto someone, not getting consent, not harming) to prevent current suffering. The nonexistence of an actual person prior to birth makes all the difference here.
A distinction that is close to trivial. If life isn't worth living, it's not worth living, full stop, with nukes.Most ANs recognize the distinction of what it means to prevent someone from coming into existence in the first place and ending an existence that is already here. — schopenhauer1

Neither I want laws which order to courts punish all them who despite they are irresponsible they have kids. It is an Utopia. — javi2541997
We can't avoid biology and the instinct of having kids from women. Nevertheless, I guess it is at least so critically flawed. We cannot sit here and then spreading kids out of nowhere for no reason. I think it doesn't depend on laws but in sexual education. What do you think? Probably with a proper sexual education people would be more matured at the time of thinking about having kids. — javi2541997

If it's a utopia, why is it full of irresponsible people having kids? — counterpunch
With regard to reproduction, I would simply give women control over their own bodies, with education, contraception and medical care - and if people were still incapable of raising their children properly, then the state should step in and remove the children from danger. But preventing "irresponsible" people from breeding is a non-starter. It's eugenics. It's morally abhorrent, totalitarian and wide open to abuse. — counterpunch
What I want to say, despite it could sound quite totalitarian, is that some parents do not deserve have kids because these will have a bad life. — javi2541997
