I love my children, but I think it would be in humanity's best interest if we could humanely artificially control earth's human population. Hear me out...
In my perfect implementation of this, I envision something like the "suppression field" from Half-Life 2 engulfing the entire planet. Whenever the suppression field is active, a human sperm simply cannot fertilize a human egg. People can still have all the sex they want, but no one will get pregnant as long as the suppression field is active.
Once a year, an international council of representatives would convene and decide how many days each year we would lower the suppression field. Then, if you want kids, just smash uglies on the appropriate day!
So yes, in my perfect world contraception is forced on every person on the planet whether they want it or not. But on the plus side, if you're rich enough you could just charter a rocket to the bone zone and have space babies whenever you feel like you're ready.
My wife and I had to try to have children, so in my fantasy world there's a chance she would never have gotten pregnant just because my boys didn't feel like swimming during Hump Weeks (still working on the name we would give to the period of time when eggs could be fertilized). I'd like to imagine that fertility science would be robust enough by the time we develop a giant ethereal space condom that you are virtually guaranteed to get pregnant if you take the right drug. And it would probably be best to space Hump Week out over the course of a couple of days to take ovulation into account.
So yeah, that's my possibly controversial opinion/fan-fiction.
