I completely disagree. Society pays women to have children all the time and we don't call that a bribe. What's the difference between paying a drug addict to have a slew of children and paying one to make it so he cannot have children? What about clinics that offer money for sperm? Is that a bribe? Offering cookies for blood? Is that a bribe?
I don't see what the objection is. I wish a shitload of people would do this. As a person who is raising a practically absent mother's child (she has five others, three live with her and their lives are horrifying), I can tell you that this is a good idea. I hope they start doing it for women. That way I don't have to be pissed that they let neglectful mothers keep their kids anymore. They just won't have them to begin with.
Personally, I don't want any children of my own. Unfortunately, I'm not a drug addict, so I would have to pay to be sterilized.
