Silvia Federici has clearly laid out that a key foundation of early capitalism was the destruction of women’s control over their own fertility: “...wombs became public territory, controlled by men and the state, and procreation was directly placed at the service of capitalist accumulation”
Greater access to birth control, decriminalization of abortions, and better sexual/social education surrounding copulation for all genders can lead to a more manageable human population and will become more necessary in communities in which local environmental carrying capacity is reached overshot dramatically.
Forcing a person to bear a child (rather than a consensual decision, and especially when "fertile age" is used as impetus) is cruel and perpetuates capitalism and the consumer/proletariat class that necessarily drives it.
