I'm not talking about testing for ability to drive safely. I'm talking about revoking drivers licenses for reasons completely unrelated to driving ability, like not paying child support. Not paying child support makes you a deadbeat, certainly, but it doesn't make you a bad driver. And that is law already in many states.

It is foolish to believe that a parenting license would be handled any other way. Believe in the wrong (which is to say, someone else's) diety? Or no diety? Then you're not qualified to be a parent. Or, to put this in a more current events context, do you not believe in global warming? Then you're not qualified to raise a child. Are you overweight (by standards that mean you will have a lower life expentency if you are within the "normal" range)? Then you're not qualified to raise a child.

Do you really believe it wouldn't happen? It is already happening with other forms of licensing.
