When I rule the world, I'll release a virus that alters the immune system to automatically reject all human embryoes as inviable, or destabilize meosis, or something along those lines. A short-term treatment will be made available, upon request and certification, to prospective parents, at a rate not to exceed population replacement - 5%, until such time as artificial wombs are available, at which point the treatment will be destroyed and banned entirely. The sentence for unauthorized birth is life imprisonment. This would apply to the man as well, if he aided and abetted the pregnancy. If he somehow coerced it, forcible public castration would be appended to the sentence, on a new television channel.
