I don’t think so.
Most women of child-bearing years who want to have children don’t give a crap about that stuff.

Finances have a much bigger impact on the number of kids couples have.

My husband is the hardest working person I know and his salary at a job he’s had for 20 years isn’t enough to sustain us. We live modestly, pay off everything we can, have a normal home and we can’t make it without me working. We both desperately want me to stay home but it’s completely unrealistic.

This is a big part of the problem. Near-universal adoption of contraception 50 years ago has triggered an economic restructuring predicated upon two-income households. Children are becoming a luxury affordable only to the rich, and to those who consciously accept the sacrifices to opt out of the mainstream economic paradigm. And of course, to the very poor, who sign over their lives and their children’s to the welfare state.

To the contracepting middle class: this is a prison you built for yourselves. This is why you will have no descendants.
