So, you figure it's the duty of every married couple to have
children whether they want them or not?  I have trouble imagining
children who've been raised reluctantly, as an obligation, growing up
into healthy productive citizens.

Or maybe it's just all couples' duty to want what you think they should
want?  Even if that were true, how do you expect them to manage it?
