Condoms and pills are cumbersome, but imagine giving women a possibility to turn off ovulation. This sort of stuff is described in the Culture novels by IM Banks (Boomer) and also hinted at in Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon (Missionary). During next 2T it might become real.
We already have a morning-after abortion pill, I thought. If made widely available, it might take the issue off the table.
