No. People have the right to make babies.

Once you go down the road on deciding who has the right to reproduce it's scarily close to deciding who has the right to live. I'm anti-eugenics in a fairly big way.

Hate to ask this, but who gave them this right to have babies?

It's intrinsic but it has also been formalised.

"Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution."

Article 16 - Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

I answered above about why maybe we should re-think intrinsic rights, when i responded to Khuutra. If the playing field changes, then shouldn't the game change accordingly as well?
