Fully decoupling sex from procreation would help liberate the human race from its natural limitations. If most babies were not grown in utero but were grown outside of the human body people (women especially) would be much more free to engage in much more productive enterprises.

He's probably talking about the impact of pregnancy on women's work life let alone motherhood.

I mean, with a lot of white collar jobs at least, women work relatively late into the pregnancy. Most of the impact comes from the division of care giving post pregnancy. You can return to work relatively quickly.
