What's actually happening, in reality, Misty is that older women, who waited for all the reasons you listed, are increasingly going at motherhood alone because men increasingly are choosing not to marry them.
"The birth rate among older, single moms has reached a record high — even as the overall births for unmarried women in the United States has declined.
Researchers noted that the overall birth rate among single moms in the country is gradually declining after peaking in the last 2000s.
At the same time, there has been a sharp 48 percent increase over the past decade in the birth rate for unwed women between the ages of 35 to 39: For every 1,000 single women aged 35 to 39, there were 31 births in 2012 compared to 21 births in 2002. Among moms ages 40 to 44, the rate increased 29 percent over the past five years, to 7 per 1,000 births in 2012."

Men are not attracted to entering into a legal contract that renders them powerless and carries potentially devastating consequences up to and including incarceration in the nation's penal system so they can live with a feminist who's already been with scores of men and now is ready to "settle down."
So, these older women are going out and deliberately getting pregnant to have a child outside of marriage before their fertility clock stops.
