Like any licensing, it’d be implemented, monitored and enforced imperfectly. The doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t better than nothing though.
Many religions and cultures already tried it with concepts like marriage and bastardry. Personally i think they should improve on those systems and integrate them with modern technology, not abolish the concept.
What’s the process for licencing? How do you obtain one? Who sets standards and testing for who is ready to be a parent? What do you do with accidental pregnancy? Or undeclared pregnancy? What would enforcement look like? And how would it save the child from suffering for the mistakes of the parent? What do you do with people who break the rules repeatedly?
You talk of history. Have you seen what happened historically in places where they tried to put children into “a better environment and punish parents”?
