I’m pretty sure one of my parents wouldn’t have had kids if he’d fully realized it was a choice. Let me tell you, growing up with such a parent isn’t great. I don’t know how they justify this to the public.

There are definitely people who made terrible parents and part of that was the fact that they just did not have any real desire to be parents. That is highly problematic, of course, but the article does say that this is not about forcing kids on those who do not want them but rather it is about preventing anti-natalist ideologies to take root.
Of course, I think they will be promoting fertility actively and go further than what is just in the article. If they didn’t, it’d not have much of an impact.
In general, I think that society should encourage fertility and a parental disposition for all people. Not to force it on anyone, but to promote good values and maybe have that positive impact, right…
Like society should promote racial tolerance & actively esteem women. Not because this will actually eliminate racism or gender discrimination, but because it will have some amount of an impact on bringing our society towards where we want it to be.
