People will say that each child brought into the world constitutes a social good for society in general.
Any reference to the public good first would have to refer logically to what is the good of each individual person.
One of the glorious achievements of this country, and one that has appealed to millions the world over, is that here we get to choose a conception of the good for ourselves.
There are as many conceptions of the good as there are persons to imagine them for themselves.
In the United States of America, the state has no business imposing its or any conception of the good on you or deciding, a priori, what your conception of the good is.
Any notion of the public good foisted on individuals means that a group of people has decided that their interests and their conception of the good should be the sum of the good of all members of society.
A stranger's child cannot possibly be a "Good" for me in the deepest and widest sense of the term.
