> cutting funding for education in ways that result in more children being had

Do you have a citation for this? One with "cutting funding" in it and not the generic comparison between Somalia and Germany.

There is a well established correlation between education in girls increasing and child birth rates decreasing. Unless you think that funding could be cut without decreasing education rates, in which case shouldn't we cut funding?

But do you have correlation between education availability to girls decreasing and child birth rates increasing?

Your primary fallacy here is that you think you can always "mince the meat back". You usually can't. It doesn't work that way.
