Deltalum, to answer your question (a good one) I say it's not playing God. It's not as if you are preventing the birth of a child or even not allowing the child to be w/ its parents. All it is is a way to ensure that every child has parents that can adequately care for him/her and that every parent has all the help and resources he/she needs to be the best parent possible. No one would go to jail (unless, of course they were beating the kid, but that should happen anyways!) I think all religions advocate the fair treatment of all people and especially advocate the education and care for the young. This isn't some Big Brother "parent like we say or we eliminate you". It's just a means to ensure that kids are being cared for. Not everyone is born knowing how to take care of other people. In this day and age especially it's really hard to do anything because there are millions of distractions that weren't around in the past.
