Because it is a violation of very basic Human Rights? Not to mention the can of worms that will open. Who gets to decide who's worthy of procreation? Based on political, social, economic values? This is like codifying systemic discrimination into fundamental human rights.

One of my friends was homeless as a child. He is now deaf because of an ear infection that was left untreated. Bringing children into a world when food and safety can't be provided is a violation of human rights as well.

Yes, Child Protective Services should have prevented this from happening to my friend. It didn't.

If parents can't prove they have the means to raise a child, CPS proactively taking custody away from the parent doesn't seem that unreasonable to me.

Not America, but my mother in law had to pass a test in China in the mid/late 80s to have a child.
