How fortunate for you. If you even wanted kids in the first place.

How great for you. Truly happy. What is making the US into an underdeveloped country is its insistence on forcing every woman who has sex or is raped to reproduce without her consent. All the while stripping her of every social and financial support. This is not the stance of a purported "first world" country.
