Freudian slip?

A funny in Deana Stokes Sullivan's piece in the Wednesday Telegram on the supposed baby boom:
He said his calculations suggested that 93,000 births between 1989 and 1996 could be attributed to the program, but while the pro-nationalist child benefit paid up to $8,000 to a family, the cost per additional birth was about $15,113.
Appropriate, perhaps, given that the guy who brought in the policy did so because he was worried about race suicide or something, but the term is actually pronatalist.
