More immigration would solve the falling birthrate "problem" without pregnancy enforcement or penalizing my state (Maine) and others like it for having a large population of elders. (How, at age 77, am I supposed to contribute to Maine's birth rate?)
It might be all of the things you suggest. But people are feeling it is unsafe to have kids who won’t be vaccinated, won’t have proper school programs, etc. And women have been told they die if there is a problem with a pregnancy. They may not have access to birth control let alone mifepristone. And their husbands should lock them up inside the house to procreate or babysit for the whole of their lives. And that comes from Vance who has a very accomplished wife.
