It's also a personal choice. No, I'm not talking about a person being gay, but a lot of people don't mind being single. Or if they are partnered, they choose not to have any children. I personally fall in the former category.
I'm single and pretty much every single woman I met doesn't want kids. They just want to spend their money on travel and restaurants and they think kids, or even pets, will take away from that.
I don't get it, but I'm also not on social media hours a day watching influencers who glorify traveling and michelin star restaurants as the pinnacle of human achievement.
I fully understand why no one would want to willingly subject themselves to the current state of women's healthcare.
In all fairness, if you have money, health care has never been better, women's or otherwise. The "if you have money" is an issue, though.
they aren't poor. they are rich. they have the best healthcare and the best hospitals in the friggin' world. literally, the best hospital for maternity in the entire USA is about a 15m drive from my home.
your point would only make sense if it was in a rural area with poor incomes, which indeed, have awful healthcare outcomes and is the majority of america, sadly.
their issue is not healthcare access. it's that they spend 50K a year traveling and think it's unfair and awful and they want to spend closer to 500K a year traveling, and the idea of having to like, only travel twice a year and have a kid is unfathomable awful to them. even the richest mofos in USA basically think kids are too expensive even thought they can easily afford them.
meanwhile all my friends who have kids, don't travel at all and don't go out to expensive restaurants. funny that.
