I'm going to write this because having not been interested in social media most of my life, I understand that societal ramifications affect my day-to-day much more than a soft libertarian would like. My partner and I got married originally not wanting children, the idea was to travel, DINKS, but my biological clock started ticking at 30ish. It is real from a fully rational, pretty logical woman. As hard as some things have been, I wouldn't suggest it for everyone but it has been the most rewarding, life-changing, learning experience of my life. From the moment the nurses put that child to your breast, something in you changes. I know it doesn't happen to everyone. I know I would do anything to protect them. You worldview expands, sympathy for other people's children grows, It makes you so much more unselfish. I think the world needs that.

I wouldn't push anyone into it because I've met people that are not willing to be unselfish. That's not good for anyone's chilld. Live and let live.

My daughter wanted two kids and son-in-law wanted none. They compromised on 1 and it turned out to be twins. :>)
