Some forms of reversible birth control exist, but not all of them are. Also, I don't think people who are torn between affording food and fuel can afford to thinking about, much less afford, permanent birth control. Might be worth mentioning my grandmother was intentionally, involuntarily sterilized by a US Navy surgeon in the late 1950's without informed consent during a "routine" hernia repair operation. I think it's a personal choice. I like kids so I'm on the side of more reproduction by people who can afford them and who would be good parents. The net fertility rate is cratering in most countries in the global north.
