Fifty years ago, parenthood was almost an obligation, but today, many American politicians criticize women choosing to remain childless, reflecting changing societal views.
A recent Pew Research Center poll found that about one-third of young people aged 18-34 weren't sure if they wanted children, with 20% having decided against it.
Financial realities are significant; high mortgage rates and the loss of many high-paying middle-class jobs compel women to delay having children.
The average number of children per woman declined from 4.7 in 1950 to 2.4 in 2017, illustrating a dramatic global decrease in birth rates.
