Is this really as "surprising" as the article says? I would assume it's obvious that not every woman is fit for motherhood. The reason why the majority of women used to have children as compared to the numbers of today isn't because they wanted it or were fit for it. They had to.
Now that's no longer the case (in our society), of course less women will want children. And these women speaking up, I guess they're old enough that they still felt the pressure and gave in to it. I expect that the number of births will continuously decrease as new generations are born. We still have people from the 50s living among us after all.
