I need my fiction to stay ahead of reality. This “parents > childless” underlies the tenet in my books of “get and keep women pregnant at any cost.” Childlessness is supposed to be the precursor to pregnancy, as women’s reproduction volition ends only when menopause has run its course.
The coming four years might just exceed my most dystopian fiction.
