Yes, by supplying them with adequate family planning education and free access to contraceptives so they understand the risk and burden of parenthood before inflicting it upon themselves.

Even if those were available, if their situation was good at the time before it went to shit, access to that stuff won’t help. Because the kid already exists. You can’t contraceptive your way out of a toddler.

I agree, I'd love for this to not happen in the future. Let's provide extensive family planning education, those are excellent ideas.

Let's also help those that have been left behind though. We have the ability to help everyone.
