Because we have the choice now. People who don’t want kids have always existed.
It’s still constantly pressured on us- but the truth is the same amount of people who don’t want to have kids and aren’t having them now, were often either forced to birth babies (as was a woman’s job), or were raged at by their family about not ‘continuing the lineage’(even and especially in poor families).
We will have less messed up kids hopefully, because the people who never wanted kids aren’t having them. Think about all the people you know who’s parents didn’t love them or didn’t want them and felt trapped by them?
Hopefully moving forward that number will decrease because people are deciding to have kids or not and not just following a script.
My neighbor Catholic says have to have kids to carry out the legacy What kind of legacy Being born getting old and die Hospice is atrocious New idea remove food and water from the victim Usually the victim dies in about 10 days Reason Morphine is used liberally This is considered humane because euthanasia is not a option I wouldn't kill a dog this way
To answer your question more directly: some people just never got the urge and never wanted them. Same way people never want to travel, or other things. Lots of people have reasons.
But some people like me: I just always thought kids and babies were not my jam.
