Not to mention the singlemotherhood rate in the US is astronomical and that is unacceptable as it is hugely detrimental to the children involved
You know that the LESS meddling you do, the more self-reliant and cohesive people become
"But muh Power"
This kind of crap would just be meddling more
In some cases
Is government controlled eugenics really a good idea tho... Key word being government.
"Muh jollies"
There are some things the feds *have* to meddle in
IE the CDC
a state regulation on reproduction doesn't sound terribly libertarian
DOD
DHS etc
Just make divorce illegal and the solve itself
That is somehow worse than what I suggested
Good job
Id like to see the fuckery this could cause in a corrupt government
Libertarians are not a monolith
If anything
Really? You don't think the source of crack whores is broken families that divorce for selfish reasons? Because they were given divorce as a safety net so they could marry for selfish reasons?
Some libertarians are examples of why certain peopme shouldnt breed
You are ignoring the source of the problem
So you want to make divorce illegal?
Pleasure seeking isnt the only reason people marry the wrong person
Some people are young
Some people drift apart
Yeah, people marry rich guys so they can divorce them and take their loot.
Some people become alcohol addicted wife beaters
I'm just not comfortable giving the state power to intercede in what is arguably one of if not the most personal and sovereign actions in human existence
Divorce is illegal, people marry for real reasons again
Making divorce illegal in this day and age would simply cause people to not marry
same reason anti-abortion crusaders are honestly anti-liberty
Because how dare you not want to murder children?
they want the state to step in and make a decision that ultimately isn't theirs to make
simple as that
The thing that used to be illegal/frowned upon in this system was childbirth outside of marriage.
Aka combining the two of your ideas
doesn't matter a fuck if you or I don't like it, its not the business of the state
If you want to make sure that only responsible people have kids, the best way to do that is to make marriage mean something and actually be binding rather than some pump and dump on your taxes
Catching murderers isn't the business of the police?
I don't think giving marriage "meaning" will make responsible people have kids.
Except you cant deprive someone of life
