To my mind, at least, the urge to have a child is not, in and of
itself, politically incorrect.  Women (and men, too) need the freedom
to *choose* to want to have children.  What's wrong is the *assumption*
that they'll want to.  Many women want to have kids because of the
societal pressure generated by this assumption.
