"You know Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog.
You need a license to drive a car. Hell, you even need a license to catch a fish.
But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father."
~ Keanu Reeves as Tod Higgins, Parenthood 1989.
25 years later and this quote is still classic, nothing has changed.
Pet Ownership, Driving, Fishing and Parenting are all privledges, NOT rights.
Religion, Speech, Bearing Arms and Voting are rights and freedoms.
Love, Marriage and Parenting are privledges and rewards of positive lifestyle choices.
Health Insurance and Free Birth Control paid for are not rights, it is a benefit and a privledge and can be revoked at anytime.
The problem comes in when society becomes so complacent and far removed from history and how the privledge began and was fought for when society becomes "outraged".
Showing outrage for lack of free birth control just shows your ignorance to history.
Parenting is about respect and responsibility and parenting with respect and responsibility for your actions you can truly understand the truth of this quote and it's truthfulness.
