coercion, ridicule, duty

The government should use its coercive power to limit reproduction to two children per couple, one child per single woman. (See previous post.)

The media should ridicule people who have too many children: natalists (Catholics, Mormons, Hasidics, etc.) and the irresponsible poor. Of course, family planning services should also be made available to all.

On the other hand, the government should encourage educated, intelligent people to reproduce, to have at least two children, three if they can afford it and want it.
