When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Is there anything useful on the Population Control or Childless Dystopia pages?
This is like, a weird funhouse mirror version of what you listed, but just in case the details have been distorted by time, The End Of The Whole Mess apparently includes a sort of REVERSE Hate Plague where a character discovers a chemical that suppresses aggression in humans and releases it to the public to create a violence-free society, but the chemical also ends up having effects that make people less able to do what it takes to care for children. It's probably a huge stretch, since my impression isn't really that there's child HATRED, just childcare incompetence, but hey!
That it's thank you!
Oh dang, awesome! No prob!
I am searching for a Stephen King novel about a future of where people do not approve of having children. Some tropes for it include "hate plague" (though later averted) and "child hater" (and maybe "would hurt a child"). I thought this begun with a "d" or "i", but I could be wrong. Can anyone please help me? For the life of me I cannot remember this story.
