New Labour's social engineering.

The state can now decide who is entitled to have a baby and remove the child from those they claim are not intelligent enough.

A heavily pregnant woman and her fiance have gone on the run after social workers threatened to take away their baby at birth.

Kerry Robertson, 17, and Mark McDougall, 25, had been told that she was not bright enough to raise their child and that they would have to give him up.

It was another blow for the couple, whose wedding this year was halted just 48 hours before the ceremony in a row over whether Miss Robertson was intelligent enough to marry.

Miss Robertson, who is 29 weeks pregnant, has since been told the couple will be allowed only a few hours with their baby - a boy they have already named Ben - before he is taken into care and placed with foster parents.

Desperate to keep their family together, the pair fled their home yesterday for a secret safe house.

This is what happens when people vote socialist, the state gets more power than is good for it, makes decisions that it should have no right to make and our freedoms vanish.

Quite when exactly did the social services people in Fife decide that they were going into the eugenics business? What next, do the social services decide who can be allowed to breed, who can be allowed to marry.

Maybe they might decide to start implementing again the "Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases," which forced the sterilization of all persons who suffered from diseases considered hereditary, such as mental illness (schizophfrenia and manic depression), retardation ("congenital feeble-mindedness"), physical deformithy, epilepsy, blindness, deafness, and severe alcolholism.

A law brought in by a certain Austrian painter and decorator.
