Let's try this from a different angle... Say it was charity. Would it, in your opinion, be constitutional for a private charity to require Norplant before dispensing the charitable goods and services?

Contracts between private individuals are not constrained by the Constitution so your allegory is flawed. What the government can and can't do as a result of its charter to represent all the people has nothing to do with what two individuals arrange between themselves on a consensual basis involving a contract. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | Participation requires more than just bitching! | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
