Try telling that to the Duggar's.

Answer by Rodney
Because there's no way that people want to let their government take away baby making rights. We may be disillusioned with our political systems, but I would love to see someone try to get that bill to pass, just to see the uproar.

Answer by Ice Cream Man
Banning immigration would be more effective

Answer by Desirae Rose
Apparently, it's better to let people have more kids than they can handle and suck up extra resources than to force people to be responsible.

Answer by Crone
Because the Untied States like to think it's a 'democracy'. That means that a politician's main job is to get re-elected. US voters seems unable to consider any idea that limits their immediate desires. That means that the US government is unable to take effective action, regardless how urgent the problem.

Foreign policy isn’t going to decide the 2012 election; Mitt Romney and his campaign team know that. So why is Romney using a precious day â€" there are only 29 days left before the election â€" to deliver a foreign policy speech today at the Virginia Military Institute?

Simple: Romney has yet to demonstrate to undecided voters that he (a) is ready, willing and able to represent America on the world stage and (b) has some sort of broader sense of how he would do so. Call it the vision thing â€" and Romney and his team knows he still has some work to do to convince undecideds on that front.

Whether it was the decidedly mixed press coverage he received during his trip to the England, Israel and Poland or the criticism he took for his statement following the attacks in Benghazi that left Ambassador Chris Stevens dead (Romney’s statement came before Stevens death was confirmed), Romney has had an unsteady run of things when it comes to matters of foreign policy.

If the excerpts released by the campaign early this morning are any indication, Romney plans to lay out his leadership vision in conversation (and contrast) with what President Obama has done in his first four years in office.

On the Middle East, Romney is set to say: “I know the President hopes for a safer, freer, and a more prosperous Middle East allied with the United States. I share this hope.  But hope is not a strategy.”

On trade: “The President has not signed one new free trade agreement in the past four years. I will reverse that failure.”

And on the big picture of defining America’s place in the world, Romney is set to make a not-so-subtle reference to the infamous phrase “leading from behind“: “I believe that if America does not lead, others will â€" others who do not share our interests and our values â€" and the world will grow darker, for our friends and for us. America’s security and the cause of freedom cannot afford four more years like the last four years.”

There is some evidence in polling that suggests opportunity for Romney here. In the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, 49 percent of registered voters approved of Obama’s handling of foreign policy while 48 percent disapproved. Those numbers are down from earlier this year, when the killing of Osama bin Laden made foreign policy a strength for Obama.

And yet, when it comes to a choice between Obama and Romney on handling foreign affairs, 49 percent of registered voters said they trusted the incumbent more, while 44 trusted Romney â€" a margin that, encouragingly for the Romney team, has narrowed since Post-ABC polling done in the spring.

Voters â€" especially at times of economic crisis (or at least anxiety) â€" don’t vote on foreign policy. But they do vote for a leader and want/need to believe that their president understands the complexities of the world and has a plan to solve them.

Romney isn’t there. He has to hope today’s speech, coupled with a strong showing in the Oct. 22 foreign policy-focused presidential debate, convinces voters he’s got the vision to lead on the world stage.

Romney lays out foreign policy: All eyes will be on Romney today, but Democrats aren’t content to let Romney dominate the news. As early as Sunday, they were already issuing a sort of prebuttal.

Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Sunday that Romney has been “an unmitigated disaster on foreign policy every time he’s dipped his toe in the foreign policy waters.”

“Just as a refresher, this is the same guy who when he went overseas on his trip, the only person who has offended Europe more is probably Chevy Chase,” Psaki said.

Obama pokes fun as debate performance: Sometimes the best medicine is a little self-deprecation.

Obama tried that cure Sunday, making light of his debate performance while appearing on-stage with entertainment icons in Los Angeles.

“They’re such great friends, and they just perform flawlessly night after night,” Obama said. “I can’t always say the same.”

This is the Obama campaign acknowledging the narrative that has been written about the debate. On Sunday, they set about trying to move the focus from style to substance, with Robert Gibbs, for instance, saying Romney’s presentation was “masterful” but his content was “dishonest.”
