When confronted with life’s “pros and cons” list-making moments, some decisions are relatively flippant and superfluous. Others – like the decision to have children – require a whole lot more consideration, sparking boundless questions and passionate opinions. Not surprisingly, when proponents and opponents get together, complex conversations ensue; from climate change to personal autonomy, religious dictates to infertility, the exchanges are thick with personal ideals, family expectations, fears, hopes and inconsistencies. An atheist and Mormon meet toe-to-toe; a teen mom faces a 50-year-old IVF patient. Grab a ringside seat and watch the debates play out across genders and ages as sets of strangers grapple with the often unasked question, “Should we kid or not?”
