Problem with removing incentives is there are two issues at hand -
1) Those that are having children to live off the welfare system and
2) those who are just poor and ignorant (srsly). Not bein mean.

The first group would try to find some other way to abuse the system and the latter group would suffer terribly because they were/are unwittingly having children. I thought the implants (norplant?) would have some impact on this issue, but then it became a moral issue with preventing them from reproducing... human rights something blah blah blah.

Oh and yeah - don't forget there are kids involved here too - guess the whole adoption thing coulda helped out there, but it doesn't seem to be.
