An Associated Press story in today's paper reports one of
those exceptionally heinous , domestic violence crimes : " Father
beat twins to death " ( alleged ). The children were only five years
old, a boy and a girl. The girl's name " Emily " reminded me right
away of the American drama classic " Our Town " : Would you like to
relive your 5th birthday Emily ? "
" I just lost it ", her father, Vincent Spik, age 37 said. He
was in charge of getting them ready but they were just too slow. He
went down to the cellar and got a hammer, report the Pittsburgh police.
( " If I had a hammer... " famous song lyrics )
Sometimes the solution to a problem may seem as monstrous as
the problem. For years I 've felt that one of the great crimes against
humanity was the reckless reproduction of the race by individuals who
have - to say the least - no gift for parenthood. That is one reason
why I still support abortion rights- better to never really exist than to
be born unwanted.
Is about time that society curb virtually unlimited reproduction
rights. Should the government begin to regulate the human reproduction ?
We give people a license to marry. Perhaps what is really needed
is a license to reproduce !
