1. Somehow I don't see the majority of American women seeing the restriction of their options as a good idea

Sure, some who would always have fit the "trad wife" role due to upbringing and belief will be welcome examples for the RWers pushing this. And sure, if they were going to have kids anyway, why not take the paltry $ per head a government may offer as incentive. Just very doubtful that many will change their life's intentions or lifestyle choices based on the nothing burgers the proponents of the return to "traditional" womanhood are offering up as incentives. I suspect this is more of speaking in politically soothing tones to the male RW base to whom the notion of an independent and self directed woman is scary, threatening and confusing thought and saying "We understand you.".
