You know, I'm an adopted person, and there is so much preparation that has to be done for parents to prove they can care for an adopted child. The point is to ensure the health of the child. When people birth children, society hasn't made any sort of check. This makes me think on that. I guess there is an assumption that birthing children biologically is a sign that you will care for your child. I am not sure where this idea came about, and I agree with your argument. Having kids is a huge job, people have to be really ready for it.
