I suppose, but the biological drive to have kids is pretty strong. Women's biology doesn't match with modern society, it seems.

It's funny how you're right, up to this point. Then you go completely off the rails.

The difference between us, I suspect, is that you view the human as a conglomeration of biological drives and chemical reactions which can do anything as long as it doesn't physically hurt another human. There are no categorical imperatives and rules are made to be broken.

I on the other hand, believe that all men and women possess an indestructible soul, have rights granted to them by Almighty God, and are subject to Natural Law, whether they want to be or not. The better able a person is able to adapt himself and live under God's Natural Law, the happier he will be.

Hence, I don't think we're going to agree on this issue.

I think you misunderstand the point I'm trying to make.

The biological reality is that women's fertility starts to drop off around the time they hit 30. Women are most fertile in their 20's. However, our society is structured in such a way so that a woman's 20's is when she is typically in college and grad school and embarking on a career.

Until science reaches the point where it can extend women's fertility into their 40's or so, there will always be a conflict for any woman who wants an education and a career but also eventually wants to have kids.
