I agree that family planning could become a new EA focus area. There is a facebook group to discuss family planning charities from a EA perspective. Giving What We Can has a great blog post on research around adolescent pregnancy. Development Media International is conducting a RCT to test whether radio programs can create demand for family planning.
Relevant: Repugnant Interventions, a great talk by Hilary Graves about how it’s plausibly inconsistent to support both life-saving interventions and family planning.

Both AMF and family planning improve lives, so in that sense they are compatible.
