Continuing to increase the world population is absolutely nuts.

    Yes, putting this into law would either require the government to pay for mandatory abortions or mandatory sterilization after the second child.

      Or some serious financial repercussions. Maybe extra tax that goes towards more support for people with fewer children (or their children).

        Then that’s class based bias, rich would simply pay for it while the poor get poorer. It’s a fair thought, but the waters get muddy all the way down

          Yeah, the system would have to be changed by miles for this to apply evenly among classes, and by extension, races. Some assurance of equal levels of education, resources, and access to medical care to take care of all roadblocks to having exactly the amount of children you want to have. Edit: and that would mean free (as in uninhibited financially or by laws) access to abortion regardless of situation.
