  I'd say that's not really going to be an issue. Children, as is, are already encouraged by tax subsidies. You'd at worse have to take those away; people the world over are already limiting the birth rate (even places where birth control and a nice standard of living are unavailable). Additionally, the SENS plan isn't about a magical 1000yr life expectancy treatment, it's about increasing the rate of life expectancy gain up to an excess of 10 years per decade (for non-violent/non-accident deaths). If you can live to 1k, and give birth for most if not all of your life, I think many people would think "being a parent" is something that could be put off a couple decades/centuries. Birth is not a pleasant process, and women aren't usually eager to have 10 kids.
