- Poorer countries tend to be more religious
- Religious people are far more conservative, specially if there's a predominant fundamentalist doctrine and the form of government is a theocracy
- Therefore, not only will these people be against contraception, but they'll also have lots of kids because they may see procreation as a commandment by god. Having kids also means, in poorer countries, a mean to get more income. Abortion is also a sin, so that means more children will be born
A curious fact, here in Portugal I have noticed that even with the option to abort free of charges, poorer people from social neighbourhoods are the ones who have more kids even if they can't provide for them (this is also a way to gain massive pensions from the state, more than 3 kids will give you a tremendous amount until they are grown ups). Very curious. And then we complain the lack of young people because of financial crisis, sounds incoherent.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
