A Week in History: 'The Wizard of Oz,' Pope John Paul I, and Martin Luther King Jr.

Relative to kenhurls note above--The better solution might be, heaven forbid, to license parents when they can show that they are capable of loving, are mentally stable, are financially able, and are of sufficient age. I suggest reading the pertinent sections of books 3 and 5 of the free ebook series on overpopulation, titled ". . .And Gulliver Returns" at http://andgulliverreturns.info

I would also suggest the web sites of Dr. Jack Westman, M.D. a child psychiatrist and Professor Hugh LaFollette, a philosophy professor. Both are found by Googling 'licensing parents'.

It seems that with the world's overpopulation and the increasing lifespans both responsible for global warming, poverty, illegal immigration, and much more--we might give the child who are to be born a chance to fulfill their potentials and live happy and fruitful lives. Too many of the planet's infants don't have such a chance.
