@DoctorDee Indeed. XD What I also find interesting in these types of conversations is that everyone skips over the entire process of ending up with a kid in the first place when asking why women are having fewer kids. Like in here they talk about the cost of housing.
I remember very clearly the horror on everyone's faces in the biology class when we watched "the birth video" and everything we learned about what happens to the body in the process of making a brand new human being. That's what I think about first and foremost rather than houses. Perry mentions how the hospital kicked her to the curb less than a day after getting a c-section. Harrington opens her book talking about this moment in her life laying in the hospital with her torso stapled shut right after giving birth as well. But neither linger on that and instead jump straight to talking about their feelings revolving around the existence of the baby. It only takes half a brain cell to guess why rich women are opting for surrogacy.
