We already have a LOT of laws decide who is and is not allowed/able/encouraged to have a LOT of other very basic rights:

In the end it costs me money, time, and grief to fix your screwups. Example: people who don’t vaccinate can cause problems for the rest as diseases spread more quickly and with greater impact than otherwise. Clear?
