No, they're not selfish but they are also not altruistic. They are ill, an anomaly of nature and a complete turn against God and all that is good. They need help.
"I'm so empathic I care more about my child being able to get bongo-care than my primal instincts", which should come to no surprise since these are the same people who commit suicide.
I think solving the economic issues will definitely increase birth rates, but I just have a hard time believing it can bring the birth rates back to replacement level. I would never consider them selfish or anything. I am all for tons of government child care funding. I am just cynical about how effective it will be in the end.
