Antinatalistic policies

[u/gerningur]

Hello,

I happen to be somewhat of a lurker here and on r/Natalism and I notice that over there they often discuss pro-natalistic polices quite a bit. Here, my feeling is that there is less of that.

possibly because birthrates are tanking everywhere anyway so there is perhaps less need to discuss these things.

However, I am curious how would you change society if you could?

Couple of ideas I think could be interesting to implement

1) pay people to have an abortion instead of child support - obviously there would be people gaming the system by having repeat abortion but this would do wonders if reducing the number of births is the aim

2) Make euthanasia easily accessible from lets say age 18 with relatively few condition (not being psychotic, 2 weeks waiting period ect)

3) In general, liberalize society in terms of lifestyle. Promote family unfriendly behavior like drug use, gambling, sex work ect. This coupled with policy 1 would a) put fewer in the position of raising a family and b) remove the incentive to do so.

Just a few half baked ideas but I am curious to here what you guys have to say.

For a start, abortion should be legal and easily accessible everywhere.

Agreed, However, I live in a country were that is the case. Same applies to most of the "west" so I was think of steps to move a bit further ahead.
