Just start a petition, get your 100k votes and let the MPs debate it.
 
After all.  Won't somebody please think of the children!
While you're at it, start another, asking for mandatory IQ testing for prospective parents, so all these unfortunate parents who seem unable to get basic parenting don't get the chance to breed and further dumb down the population.
 
Good luck.

 I have no plans to start an epetition, I just wanted to discuss the situation with other members.
Your last comment actually has legs.  As it stands, anyone can have children regardless of their abilities and I don't think that this is a good thing.
At the moment we have children (in mind or in body) giving birth to children.  Often, they expect others to pay for them whilst having scant regard to raising them properly through ignorance or otherwise.
Yet, those who wish to adopt have to (quite rightly) pass various checks before they are able to do so.
I don't think that it is a person's right to have children (it's a privilege) and, in the most extreme cases, would support mandatory sterilisation of some males and females.
