    But it can't be. Delaying child birth doesn't reduce the amount of resources it takes to give birth to a child. Whether I have a child now or 10 years from now, it will still require the same amount of doctor labor and use of other medical resources.

This shows an amazing lack of understanding of mathematics (basic arithmetic).

But anyway, we shouldn't be focused on preventing anyone from having kids, but rather educating the kids who already exist. Birthrates take care of themselves once people (women especially) have access to education.

Well, and access to birth control paired with good sex-ed certainly helps as well.
