Mandatory Motherhood: Difference between revisions

== Fan Fiction ==

* This is ubiquitous in [[Shipping]] fic. The happy couple ''will'' have kids, even if neither of them would ever want them in their canon personality and [[Mister Seahorse|even if neither of them has a womb]]. There's no such thing as contraception, and miscarriages only happen when [[Deus Angst Machina]] decrees it. And if abortion exists, we're generally treated to a tedious speech about how [[Good Girls Avoid Abortion]]—sometimes right away, sometimes after a few equally tedious scenes where they pretend to consider it. If the character isn't a "good girl" to begin with, she generally becomes one in short order thanks to [[Deliver Us From Evil]].

* [[The Ikaris]] has an implied example. Due to three billion people dying in Second Impact, numerous countries implemented laws to loosen marriage conditions and discourage divorce to encourage family development and birthrates. Japan apparently never bothered to repeal them, due to being too busy trusting shadowy agencies to build giant robots to fight off alien monsters. Asuka angrily dubs Japan "the Las Vegas of Asia".
