Bans are silly. Before, societies didn't have social safety nets. Having kids and families was your safety net. If we have transitioned society to expect the state to provide safety nets through a system of taxes and disbursements, then we also need to account for the externalities of children in that system. That mostly looks like compensating parents and especially women for the societal benefits of having children in a market accounting for externalities.
