than do the real unselfish work of raising children

Raising children may be unselfish but producing them isn't necessarily. Seems to me that there is selfishness on both sides of this. People often have children to get a second chance through a fresh version of themselves through whom they try to relive their own lives. Or they have children to get someone in their lives who will love them. Or they have children without giving a second thought to whether they have the wherewithal to raise them properly and leave society to deal with the consequences. Do you really want that kind of selfish people to have children? Seems to me it's not so selfish after all to recognize that you wouldn't make the best parent and to constrain your reproduction accordingly.
