even if there were no obstacles, why is not having children deemed selfishness? there's a degree of unnecessary judgement in that position.

a person can take an informed decision to not add to the population of the most invasive form of life that this planet has ever seen. if anything, there is no more selfless choice.

I usually hear it from one of two camps (or both at the same time).

The world (read capitalist economy) can’t continue to grow without ever-growing population.
The (Christian) Bible says that sex is for making babies. Getting married implies having sex. So, if you’re getting married you’d better be making babies.
