No More Unwanted Pregnancies!

A national government sperm bank network should be set up. Many sperm banks should be set up everywhere, but they would all be ran the same way and for the same purpose. They will also all have access to eachother. Unlike our current sperm banks, the purpose is not for women to find "donors" for their future pregnancies. The purpose is for men to keep a large ammount of their sperm in a safe guarded institution. The reason for all of this is because at the age of 18 males will have a visectomy so the can no longer produce sperm.
Do you see where I'm going with this? After 18, men will no longer accidentally get anyone pregnant! But, later in life when the man settles down, he will still be able to produce a natural born child with his spouse by withdrawling some of the sperm from the national sperm bank.
The reason that the bank would be state run is simple: corporations are not very accountable. I mean, as soon as they lose interest (aka: don't make enough money) they can just pack up and leave; leaving much of the nation without a means of reproduction. That's why it makes more sense for it to be a national institution that can be held accountable by the taxpaying citizens of the United States.
Of course, people can have children the natural way if they want to and never even go to a sperm bank. But that idea will go down the drain pretty quickly once the sperm bank is installed. My reasoning for this theory is the simple fact of competition between males. If a woman could find a man that can't possibly get her pregnant unless they both really planned it, why would she ever want a man that can easily infect her with the baby virus? She wouldn't! And why shouldn't she? I sure wouldn't want some random unwanted creature growing inside me. An invasion of the self!
There is only one flaw in this plan. Catholics and other fundamentalists would not practice it. In fact, I bet they would be vehemenantly against it*. Hopefully our constitution would preserve our sexual civil rights from these special interest groups, but that is not the big problem. The big problem is that the religious peoples would keep breeding like bunnies while the rest of us chilled back under the relaxing shad of the new system of reproduction. Soon, the country would be overrun with jesus freaks! We would THEN be outnumbered and they would surely take over the government to a much larger degree than they have today. Then there would be no more national sperm bank and we would be stuck with a lot more bible thumpers.
Like many things, this is a good idea that is completely ruined by religion**.


* Fundamentalists shouldn't be against this idea though. My reasoning is that there would be no more abortions! In fact, illegalize abortion! Install a death penality for it! It wouldn't matter anymore and the religious freaks would be appeased.
** For a listing of otherwise good ideas that religion arbitrarily discards please see: the Bible, the Quran and the Torah.
