The Children's Era: The Bureau of the Unborn (Sentences 49-91) Summary

Is it Just Us, or Does That Sound Like a Great Name For a Science Fiction Movie?

  • Sanger insists that the only way children can be healthy and happy is if their mothers choose to become mothers.
  • Then she starts with her "just kidding but not really kidding" ideas about who should have kids:
  • Take a test to see if you qualify to be a parent.
  • Maybe the government should decide?
  • No, wait, that's a terrible idea.
  • Sanger says that the two people who ought to have a say in bringing children into the world are the mother and the child.
  • So the Unborn Child should get to interview his or her parents.
  • Sanger gives a fake interview, the upshot of which is that if a baby can't be born to a middle-class or higher family, said baby would rather not be born.
