Let me educate you on something Royston.
Sterilization is the commonest form of contraception in some developed countries such as the USA where as many as 10 million are sterilized per annum, although a proportion (0.1 - 10%) subsequently regret the decision1. In most third world countries there is also an increasing acceptance2. The current population annual growth rate in Nigeria of 3% will, if continued, give rise to overpopulation in the near future3. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Lagos Teaching Hospital has provided a family planning clinic since 1980.http://www.galtoninstitute.org.uk/Biology_and_Society/BAS9009/Nigerian_Women.htm

You will probably be pleased to know that I have (voluntarily!) been sterilised after the birth of my third child some years ago.

Thirty minutes drive from "leafy Hertford" is a Marie Stopes clinic.
I have made that drive.
The young person I took had been referred by her GP, but they welcome anyone who needs help, and they give it for free.
I met some girls from Ireland there who dearly wished such help was available nearer to home.
I do not think that we were all victims of wicked eugenicists.
