having children is a choice. Therefore, the difficulty of that choice is not really a factor in our lawmaking nor should it be.

Is it, though? The trajectory right now is to remove the choice of parenthood. If some people in power have their way, it will not only be illegal to end a pregnancy, it will also be illegal to prevent it to start with. If a male and female have sex (and I doubt a sufficient number of people will give up having hetero sex), the result will often be a child, and there will be no safe, legal choice in the matter.

If we make laws that make it impractical to have children, I'm sure this will have no consequences for the country's future.
