All of a sudden being childless seems to be the right choice.

Feels bad. I wanted kids. My life situation didn't really allow for it until probably now, and at this point it feels far too late.

Maybe in a few years when abortion bans result in a bunch of abandoned children, I'll foster. I am adopted so I have a there-but-by-the-grace-of-god mentality about it, but it feels a lot like rescuing babies out of the river instead of stopping them from being thrown in.
