It would make having a third child more costly, not alter people’s preferences. (If chocolate bars double in price, that doesn’t influence your wish for chocolate. It just makes it more expensive to satisfy.)

And yet people would willfully avoid buying chocolate. You are deliberately putting desires and intent in a single jar, but they are neither the same nor interchangeable. Desires can be conflicting amongst themselves (it's not even rare) while intent is the aggregate of desires, necessities, and, yes, outside power. Contraceptives are a means of achieving intent, not of altering it.
