Well, logically women have the most to gain/loose from the "transaction" so it makes sense that traditionally women have been the ones to place more concern on contraception. With any luck, the male birth control pill will be available soon and that should even the playing field a bit.
In response to the original post, I think we need to remove the incentive to have children. I'm not sure how the system works exactly, but if there is an infinitely increasing scale that translates to "more kids = more money" in ghetto speak then there is a problem.
Perhaps something a little more reasonable. Still allow for support for someone with one kid, since things happen. Then perhaps modify the scale as the number of kids increase, i.e. two kids gets 1.5x the normal amount, three gets 1.75x, four gets 2x and then cap it there. If it costs more to have a kid than the government will pay you to keep them, maybe people will stop procreating for free money!
