No, not at all. If people in poverty keep having more children - regardless of the reasons why they have more children - then all they are doing is perpetuating the cycle of poverty. Another mouth to feed, more financial strain on the family, another kid likely to go wayward.

I'd considered that, but then I realised that eventually some idiot would have a wah-wah in the news about how they didn't really want to have their tubes tied but they needed the money and now they regret it and want to have more kids and isn't the government mean and wah wah wah.
