Before modern medicine, birth control and abortions were much harder to come by, too.
Also, women didn't really get much of a say in the matter.
God forbid you point that out though, there's a bunch of people who think this was all consensual.
This is a really important factor here that it wasn't exactly "Grandma's" choosing (not to make the meme unfunny but...) Yeah, more often than not it was "Grandpa" with no choice in the matter.
It's ok to not laugh at a meme like this.
