I don't believe that's necessary. Education already promotes not having kids, or at least waiting. [1][2] What you propose is also politically impossible (I completely agree, in theory, however). We already know how challenging the abortion and sex education issue has been. Proper sex education (and K-12, generally) will implicitly implement what you're suggesting.

- WildUtah 10y agoEducation promotes smart people not having kids, especially smart women. But it doesn't diminish in any way the dumb people. If you have no intention of getting an education or supporting yourself in the modern world, a tougher education system with higher standards won't discourage your reproduction.
