Should Abortions Be Rewarded? (lemmy.world)

I think Abortions should get rewards for the women doing them, maybe gift cards or some kind of thing for society to show approval to them for not bringing another life into the world. Ideally the society would also look up to women who have abortions and consider them to be doing a good deed. Maybe we can have discounts in stores for men and women who have had abortions or are childfree, to encourage the society to stop producing children. What do you guys think?

If your goal is to reduce population don't reward a temporary measure, put your incentives on sterilization.

Exactly. This is how you get abortion farmers

Some financial rewards would be better than nothing, of course. But governments have no interest in doing that. Because they want new work-slaves to bring them money each month from working 8-9 hours a day.
