My argument has always been that nature has a master plan pushing every species toward procreation and that it is our right and even obligation as rational human beings to defy nature's fascism.

The rapid, sweeping deterioration of values is characterized by a preoccupation-even an obsession-with the procreative act.

Of children as of procreation -- the pleasure momentary, the posture ridiculous, the expense damnable — Evelyn Waugh
For the women in California, they're just downtrodden because they're so gorgeous here. Every hot cheerleader comes to California to make it. The men don't want to get married, they're lazy lions.

Coles
As for procreation, no one in his right mind would say that it is the only activity devoid of a praiseworthy incentive.
