Ah yes. The social safety net is causing society to be overrun by a plague of undesirables. If we would only let people die in the streets, our society would be pure.

I think there may also be mechanisms for women to get the contraceptive pill gratis if they are on government support.
The issue is though that this requires some degree of responsibility and planning, which is almost by definition missing in people who breed irresponsibly. So you have a lot of people who want a lot of children or are at least indifferent to having them, however they have no financial means to support that many children. I guess if you have not been successful career-wise then having a large family might give one a sense of accomplishment.
The upshot of that is that it's not fair to let these kids starve so the government has to offer welfare to these families. For example it is much easier to get government subsidised housing if you have children. So you end up with a situation like we have in the UK where people sometimes have children because they will get a free house (and if you have more kids you get a bigger house) where otherwise they might be homeless or forced to live with parents etc.
So quite the vicious cycle.
Contraceptive implant, coil, IUD, all still free last time I checked. It's not only condoms. And if your local surgery can't provide what you want due to a skills shortage you can go to a sexual health clinic with no problem.
When I was chatting with the GUM clinic staff last time I had my implant changed, she was talking about how common it was for teens to have it, since it's such an easy fire and forget contraceptive.
Preventing STIs however, that's another issue.
Although I think it applies to most of the first world.
An interesting definition of "first world" could be "the point where native deaths outweigh native births".
Don't use it as contraception, it's easier to educate and use different methods.
Once you have decided that you do not under any circumstances want children, the only better way to prevent it is abstinence.
Some people do not ever want kids.
