Researchers followed about 260 children born to pregnant women in the United States and United Kingdom between 1999 and 2004. They found that by age three, toddlers whose mothers had taken valproate had an average IQ of 92 compared to scores of between 98 and 101 for children of women who had taken other drugs, including lamotrigine, phenytoin, and carbamazepine.

How about instead of forcing your ideologies into peoples bodies to control population, we up the standard of living for peoples across the world by removing the system that ensures their poverty?
Affluent people have less kids.

The control of childbirth among the human population of the earth is coming within this century. And it is a paradigm (however distasteful) that we all must deal with.
To do nothing, is to doom our descendants. Given unchecked population
growth, we, as a species, like any controlled experiment where an
organism is introduced into a fertile and finite environment (ie. a petri dish)
we will eventually founder in its own waste.
Sorry folks. This is truth. The alternatives to not policing our own
population are famine, disease, and the death of the environment
we occupy (our petri dish).
Don't shoot the messenger...
