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.
