 If for an equal amount not having children is also the right choise I guess that means I better have 4 kids to keep the population up 
I think the decision for most heterosexual couples not having children is often based on fear.  Having a child is scary on many levels, and society has placed ones personal status as the highest plane.  Being a good mother isn't 'good enough' for women these days.  
I think in the long run they will regret it as age catches up, past dreams have either been realized or failed, and its too late.
