I'm a big fan of babies, myself. Which is funny, considering how The Kid was an accident--the pill and condoms both, people!--and had the lab not kept screwing up my pregnancy test results until it was quite too late, I might well have aborted her once it was definitive she existed.
But once I had me a baby, everything changed. Everything. It turned out to be something I was really pretty good at, although not perfect, of course, and was the only job I've ever given everything I had. Kid Two was quite deliberate and equally delightful.
So while I fully respect the decisions of those who choose not to have kids, I'm very aware that those adamantly opposed can be 'turned.'
