    I don’t really see a strong difference ultimately between “heavily disincentivizing” and banning. Heavy disincentivization basically means the rule only applies to poor people. If it’s eugenics, it’s probably still eugenics even when limited to the poor, since most eugenicists would broadly consider wealthy people to likely have good genes.

    Anyway, there are times when we should attempt to lower birth rates as a society. In my country it’s not needed, since the birth rate is so low.

      You dont see the difference between a tax break vs literally jailing people who have kids? Its a pretty big difference!

        Yeah, it’s a different implementation. One has an escape hatch for the wealthy; the other doesn’t.
