While the idea is good in that there would be fewer neglected/harmed children, I just can't see how it could ever be logistically enforced. Is a hospital going to turn away a mother in labour that didn't attend the course? Will a doctor perform an abortion because a pregnant woman refuses to attend? Of course those are over the top examples, but I think you get my general point.

I think that there should be punishment for the parents if they don't take the course. No punishment should be punishment for the baby though so a financial punishment would be out of question. Honestly I don't know what the punishment could be but I thought this was a interesting debate.
Any punishment ideas?
