 I'm not entirely sure what happens should a female prisoner become pregnant anyway (if anyone knows and could explain I'd be grateful) but I'd imagine, and hope that it'd be left with the woman's family/partner who are outside of prison, should they accept the responsibility of course. If not surely they're put into care/up for adoption? In which case I'd support such action.

Quit with the patronising 'love' patter.  It's tiresome.   Clearly I did need to state the obvious....because of your next comment below.....

Given that as  I pointed out, that women do get pregnant in prison too:  and that you are not comfortable with a child growing up in prison:...... what are you thoughts now then on unfit mothers or mothers who have abused their own children being sterilised:  since your preferred option of 'being put in prison' does not rule  out them bearing more children?
