I think that is exactly it, and we are not alone. I have read about the low birth rates in many countries, except for the birth rates of the immigrants. I also believe that as you said we have too many young adults who do not want to put off their pleasure to have children.

I agree with you. Someone close to me had an abortion in her twenties—her boyfriend pressured her into it—even though she had always wanted children. He got her a bowl of ice cream as she recovered—as if she had a cold.
It makes me sad, how life is treated so cheaply today.
And now women are paying for delaying childbirth by having trouble conceiving when they finally decide they are ready.
