The reasons people have for not bearing and rearing biological children are many. Some are not as well thought out as others. But when whole societies experience significant shifts in birthrates, as we’ve seen in the other direction the past few generations, there are repercussions for psychology, sociology, politics, culture, pastoral ministry, and of course, individual persons.
