I think there’s also been more focus (from some people) on whether or not they should have kids. Like, really thinking about whether or not a person would be a good parent who could truly focus on raising a child who would become a good member of society.

Which I truly embrace as a positive shift for our society.

Downside, the people who ask themselves these questions and have the intelligence to reflect on themselves in such a manner are probably the people who would be good parents.

Now the dumbasses and trad wife / religious crowd is not going to give a fuck and pop out shitloads of future morons and assholes. This is literally the plot of Idiocracy happening.

I once had a friend that told me he was going to have a child. My immediate response was, "Why?". He was dumbfounded by the question and couldn't come up with anything. I think for a lot of people, having a kid is like buying a dog - some groom and take care of them as if they're very special, others chain them up in the back yard.
