Bar room humor aside, I don't see a problem with this. Why not, as it seems more cost effective and helps maintain population levels. While I realize that the location and the context in which this lawmaker presented this is rather contentious to say the least, I would like to hear arguments against it.
Well the first article I posted a link to, went on to be quite critical and equated it to the eugenics movement during the early 20th century and to the Nazi's quest for the master race.
I saw this much as others here apparently see it and since it is a voluntary thing, then what's the big deal. I would even consider going one step further and offering those nations that receive US foreign aid a bonus to do the same thing abroad in nations with populations that are rising faster than they can feed them. While I suspect this kind of sentiment is probably unpopular with mainstream, I'm admit that I'm surprised that no one has argued to oppose this. Might be something worth looking into.
