I'd love to have kids. I think it would be wonderful to be able to be a foster parent as another option.
I can't afford it. Its impossible. We can barely afford living as it is. How the fuck am I supposed to raise a kid?
I'm shrugging at falling birth rates not out of indifference, but out of a lack of ability to do anything about it.

you want more kids make houses affordable and give people time off from work.
If you want to further subjugate women so rich people can get away with more creepy sex crimes then you do what the GOP is currently doing.

As a species we have the tools, technology, education, knowledge, cognition, and intelligence to override an animal instinct to reproduce willy nilly. We're more than that now. People should know what it means to choose to have children and weigh the benefits vs the costs to their lives.
Have children when you want to and when it makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, then don't do it. Humanity will survive thinning down to many billions fewer humans sitting around consuming resources. A person who never existed in the first place because healthy adults decided to put their time and resources into something else shouldn't be lamented, but a choice respected.
My family has a long history of not having many children. Our family tree is one of marrying in people and then just not growing larger generation to generation. We have plenty of childless couples in the tree and they make the coolest aunts and uncles a kid can have.

If politicians want people to have more children, maybe they could do something to make having kids less ruinously-expensive.
Hey GOP assholes, taking away bodily autonomy doesn't get you more babies.
