There should be some sort of license/test before people can reproduce to eliminate the Britney Spears-type parents that now plague our society.
You're daft.
There's a reason why those type of parents exist. Society.
It's not my responsibility to teach my children right from wrong, it's the school's.
It's not my responsibility to care for my child, it's the state's.
It's not my responsibility when my child is arrested, it's the rap music.
You have no jurisdiction or right to ru(i)n my life, nor anyone else's.
edit: note: I'm not saying people should be selfish pricks. Empathy goes a long way in life, but there is no empathy in deciding how another person should live their life. That's slavery.
I'm sorry, but idiots that can't manage to pass 5th grade and can't get a better job than the guy who pushes carts around walmart shouldn't be allowed to bring children into that situation.
And again I'm sorry, but you're daft - you can't just blame away problems on others - it is your responsibility to do all of those things and teach all of them (and you might have been making that point, but I don't read sarcasm well.)
And yes, it is an slippery slope which would only be exacerbated by human nature, but theoretically - bring it on. It's like communism, awesome in theory, but disastrous in practice.
I'm going to repeat myself.

Intellect based on your system of "standards" is absolute shit.
Are you capable of telling an unemployed person that "I'm sorry, you lost your job, and well, you're pregnant, or your wife is pregnant, you're going to have to terminate the child"?
Who are you, or anyone else, to judge the circumstances that produce life? A person who is mentally retarded, in many cases, has the capabilities of a child. Children don't grasp the same concept of carnal knowledge as you, unless you teach them, in which case, you reap what you sow.
I'll make my statement crystal clear: If you're advocating death in response to love, fuck you.
