How is this the government's business?  Parents decide what is best and proper for their children.  Permit such intrusions on parental rights and the next thing we know, this will be China.  The government will tell us how many we may have and will indoctrinate them as they wish.  They will assume to right to take them away for the benefit of the State.  They have already legislated that the children can be aborted and are seeking to allow this while labor is taking place and after even after they are born!  Children are not property and the State has no say in this matter.
