The first essential in any civilization is that the man and women shall be father and mother of healthy children so that the [human] race shall increase and not decrease. If that is not so, if through no fault of the society there is failure to increase, it is a great misfortune. If the failure is due to the deliberate and willful fault, then it is not merely a misfortune, it is one of those crimes of ease and self-indulgence, of shrinking from pain and effort and risk, which in the long run Nature punishes more heavily than any other.
Apparently, being childfree is bad because it means we lose some kind of breeding race with other nations/ethnicities. I suppose if you're not American or European, these folks approve of your childfree status, or disapprove of it philosophically yet celebrate it anyway. Good to know that the population increase in the past 100 years hasn't changed the wisdom of Breeding For Country.
