Why are we so anxious to prevent pregnancies instead of addressing the economic issues that make so many hard working people unable to afford raising kids?

The current status quo is only poor and rich people have children, but the middle class often cannot afford to, and we try rationalize that by saying the poor children will make up for it, but children raised by poor families are much more likely to be a net cost to society, not to mention the moral failure.

Even if for environmental reasons, the results of not acknowledging the real problem have been disastrous. We know that people struggling to pay rent will never prioritize environmental causes because they simply can't afford to, so addressing the economic issues will need to be part of the formula anyhow.
