I've thought about this before. And even discussed it with friends. The subject of over population was mentioned and also licensing pregnancies.

I don't think a license would solve the problem. Think about it, Drivers Licenses were meant to keep idiots off the road and people aware of the rules of the road. Has that stopped any idiots from obtaining a license to drive?

Idiots will reproduce regardless. Ask your local government how those gun permits are working out.

Edit: I also see something else wrong with it. If I decide to have a child, I don't want to have to pay what is essentially a tax for someone elses stupidity.
