The problem is that the incentive doesn't work. Low-income folks have more children than high-income folks, even though they're the ones who are more adversely affected by childcare costs (larger percentage of budget). If disincentivizing having children through high childcare doesn't work, then we should accept that people will have as many kids as they want to, make things easier for the people who are already alive, and find other ways to manage overpopulation (easy access to contraception being the most effective and humane)
