I've always found US policy regarding reproduction to be completely unfair anyway. The working class and middle classes can't afford to have children because the costs are immense. Those that do risk it often find themselves perpetually in debt and forever broke. This is the punishment responsible working people get for having jobs and paying their own way through the world.

Meanwhile, if you're unemployed (or better yet, completely unemployable) and get knocked up, then the government pays for everything. There are entire stores in the ghetto here that sell nothing but "WIC" products (for non-US: these are "healthy" foods like milk, orange juice, and cheese paid for with government checks). That such businesses can pay their rent is testament to how pervasive the problem has become. Every baby mill on welfare gets additional benefits for each child they have (want a bigger TV? have another kid!). Then they ride on housing benefits (because the taxpayers' children can't share a bedroom) which drives up rent for everyone else.

We're breeding out the working and middle classes with the same welfare system initially designed to protect them. A whole new parasitic class is rapidly rising to dominance. All these children will ever see is their parent (there are rarely two) sitting at home doing nothing but collecting checks. How is this system any better or worse than mandating a limit on the number of children one (and especially THEY) can have? We would all be better off. Fewer resources to feed fewer mouths.
