Why aren't penalties stiffer for people who drive without a valid license/registration/insurance?

But why are you pinning it only at the women? They and their sperm donor are both responsible. It's not just that the "system" doesn't hold the men responsible (no daddy name on the birth certificate, mom is no longer eligible for gov benefits), it's that those moms and dads live in a culture/society that doesn't hold them accountable. If that money came from your pocket you'd want them held accountable. Somehow because it's gov money it doesn't matter, but the impact is the same: rewards for bad behavior.

100% of the foster kids that have been in our home have been from gov supported moms in gov supported housing with gov provided phones/food/medical, dads not in the picture.

Well, it’s because women 100% control access to their bodies and it’s about time the society started holding them accountable. This isn’t the turn of the century anymore. We have so many birth control methods for both men and women, that an unwanted pregnancy should not be a thing anymore.

Society has always shamed men that didn’t support their kids, as it should. It’s a high time we start shaming women for having kids outside the marriage.

Seems we differ there even if we're both personal accountability advocates. The sperm donor also has 100% control of where he makes a deposit. If he/she doesn't plan to support or does not have the means to support the outcome of their decision, the gov is not the default provider. Less gov responsibility. Each genetic donor is 100% responsible.

WOW ...

That didn't several of you long at all to go right back off course. The TOPIC is that of laws regarding penalties for driving w/o license, and somehow we're talking sperm donors and unwed pregnancies?

LOCKED PERMANENTLY.
