I could see this incentivizing someone to have a baby solely to get a boost on their applications, which I suppose is what you want. But it shouldn't be as big a boost as serving active duty in a war. I wonder how much of a boost the zero-point preference from https://www.fedshirevets.gov/job-seekers/veterans/veterans-preference/ https://www.fedshirevets.gov/job-seekers/veterans/veterans-p... would add? It doesn't add to your application score, but it counts as a tiebreaker between people with the same score.
