Answer & Explanation:

Those who live or work in developing countries encounter innumerable, especially poor, women who are denied the means to control their fertility – a right the rest of us take for granted. Their ability to enhance their families’ and their own welfare by spacing and limiting the number of their children is often thwarted by opposition to birth control on the part of organised religious bodies such as the Catholic church.

Advocating family planning is not “eliminating the poor”. It is simply a matter of enabling poor people in developing countries to exercise the choices available to rich people everywhere, including Catholics. Had this problem been addressed decades ago, a great deal of suffering could have been averted. Moreover, the human population and concomitant environmental crisis would not have reached anything like current levels.
