This development carries the same seeds of mass social disaster as China's one-child policy. It will also force western societies to confront their very existence by forcing them to confront the value of each race. It will cause liberalism to realize its teachings are suicidal.
Why do I say this? It further accelerates demographic trends, all of which are negative for the West and positive for third world (read: non-white).
Indeed: right now the birth rate in Italy is less than 1.5, similar for Germany and France. In the US many demographic groups are way less than the 2.1 level necessary to just keep their populations even.
On the other hand some groups, such as Palestinians, have a birth rate in excess of 7.
This manifests itself right now in the social and religious discord that is setting fire to French cities every night.
China now has 200 million "excess" men, that is males in excess of females. What does a ruthless dictatorship do with 200 million men? Having that many extra makes it easy to put them in their military and to "spend" them on some national adventure.
In the US, who will decide to have children if women, who now make comprise 57% of college graduates, are too busy to be fertile?
Some demographic groups are reproducing without restriction and a lot of those babies are taken from their mothers because of fitness or abuse issues, and are put into the maw of the state welfare/social services/foster care industry.
This is not a development that advances the welfare of humanity.

This is one method people can voluntarily use to prevent or time their pregancies.
It should not be compared in any way to forced governmental control of birth rates, unless you would use government to ~stop~ people from using this or any other birth control, in the name of social engineering.

In other words, they will decide. It is, after all, a free country. Would you rather have the government make such decisions?
