>But if need be, he said, he would endorse 'various forms of coercion' like eliminating 'tax benefits for having additional children.'

This is such a confusing quote that it's almost certainly taken out of context. Isn't eliminating a taxpayer-funded subsidy removing a form of coersion?

Watching the video on NYT, Ehrlich wanted to add taxes for people who have children which is more accurately coersion.
