I wish I knew more about some of these women - I don't recognize some of them.

A few things I'd say, if I'd been one of them:

"Why is it that we don't call anyone 'selfish' for not taking in adorable homeless puppies or kittens, or call any infertile couple 'selfish' for not ADOPTING a healthy baby, but it's somehow different when it comes to reproduction?"

And:

"It's one thing to tell the world, when you're 20, that your goal in life is not to earn a living. It's another altogether to say 'no, I will not become a doctor just because my parents had their hearts set on that career for me.' It's the same with not wanting children. Would you want a doctor who never wanted to be one?"

Oh, yes, and -

"As a veterinarian said back in the 1990s, maybe: 'In this have-it-all society, anyone who doesn't ALREADY have a pet, SHOULDN'T have a pet.' "

Another correction - that should have been "not reproducing," of course.
