That might be it - my father in particular seems to just like babies.

Juno is also a weird part of the trend - a 16 year old gets pregnant, doesn't have an abortion, gives the baby away, and she's lauded! One analysis I read suggested that the leftists didn't want to criticize a teenage mom, and the rightists were glad that she didn't have an abortion.

I knew so many teens and young women who got pregnant (and one guy who fathered a child accidentally), and the only thing I think they all have in common is that they all seem pretty unhappy people. I don't understand it at all, but I'm one of those odd people you mentioned.
