I just read a dystopian story that took this to the extreme. Abortion was illegal, sex was only permitted if the woman was ovulating and the man's sperm count was high and if you didn't match with your spouse you went to a communal center - the church i believe - and made babies with the other people there. Infants who were born infertile would be given a terminal baptism, they were blessed and then drowned by a priest. Because the infants, thus baptized, would go to heaven, but the unborn that they would never be able to bear wouldn't, so they 'made room' so to speak.
There were no social services or anything, just families in tiny spaces with 9 children or so. The priest ends up killing himself via his own sort of terminal baptism.
