No, the real answer is that "It's war, famine and disease!'

If you eliminated the birth control pill tomorrow, we'd have plenty of fertility: that's what war, famine and disease do.

All the complaints we hear here about how hard it is to raise kids. etc. would evaporate b/c no one would have a choice! And if you thought women have control in these situations then you would quickly learn that women unwilling to try to produce children will not have long lifespans.
