Obviously "bizarre population pitch" is an innapropriate way to phrase it, but it's this article's title

How does threatening women with forced hysterectomies even make sense? Is the solution to increase birthrates not as simple as implementing policies that just make having a family easier, like better job security and shorter work days/weeks/years?

Don't go making so much sense now!

The idea is that women are afraid not to have children at all and get emergency children before 30.

That this will turn women into breeding and child caring machines has the nice side effects that you not only get a bunch of women who don't have time for education, and thus more job security for me men, and it keeps them at home, so you don't need child care facilities.

So all in all a great step forward into the 1920!

It just halves the family income I guess nothing major. Doubt they are going to pay me double.

Maybe the dads are supposed to work double shifts.

I think even just getting rid of at-will employment for expectant parents and people with dependents would provide safe incentive for having more kids.
