Poll question: Do you support giving money or bonds to women (or married couples) who don't have kids?

Perhaps beginning at age 25, women or married couples could receive $2,500 for every five year period in which they did not produce a child (they would still be eligible to receive the funds if they chose to adopt).

Such a program could potentially reduce overpopulation in communities and schools, and it might even encourage adoption.

I don't think single men should be eligible for the bond since they cannot give birth, and allowing them to take part in the program could result in inappropriate pressure placed on pregnant women.
