You can't pay us to have babies

We link babies to the definition marriage, because it takes a man and a woman to create and raise a child. While in polite conversation this is seen as culturally backwards, more often then not this concept finds itself needed in public policy. Babies are important, but given the choice what would make any woman in her right mind have children, especially if she could be financially independent and men are unreliable. Heck No!

Fair question and answer.

Some governments, as reported by NPR, have given baby bonuses with little luck to boosting their fertility rate.

When Governments Pay People To Have Babies

In some countries, male-female relations may be a bigger impediment than money. Boling says women may be deciding, "Look, if it's all me and I'm doing all of the child rearing and maybe working outside the home as well, and you're having a drink with your buddies every night, forget it. ... I don't want to have any kids."

There are nights and days I get frustrated, why am I not considered the feminist? Studies over and over again show women are better off when the father of her children is also a good husband to her. How can something so good for women and her children, be deemed as something so intolerable that it can't be acknowledge?
