Why is it that so many people think it is their business to question a woman's decision not to have children -- but never bother questioning a woman's decision to have them? Don't we all know too many women who shouldn't be mothers? The best reason not to have children is because you simply don't want them. I knew when I was 12 years old that I didn't want to have children, and now in late middle age have never regretted my decision. Indeed, I am grateful that I didn't allow myself to be pressed into producing children I would have resented.
