Off course it's one of those kind of uncofterbale questions in a post apoc world (off any description realy). ya need man power...a lot of it....losses must be replaced and long term the only way to do that is to make 'em.
poke about in a few newBSG boards and you can see some quite heated discussions on it.

The uniformed family members would follow orders. Non-uniformed members of the on-post community would fall in line or get out. Junior enlisted troops who were in the field risking their lives for the safety of the on-post community would not be denied their opportunity for a family life to satisfy the prejudice of those they protected. It was a clear line in the sand, and no one chose to cross it. They were, after all, still eating.

I’m not sure that would really be viable response. Even if (for arguments sake) the existing family's objection is realy based on prejudice. there going to be the ones who's military members are going to by and large repsent many of the more valuable (rank, experience what not) solders.
