The argument is not discussing legality but rather biology. Biologically speaking our only purpose for existing is to procreate. Now if we wish to construct laws in accordance with biology than we would make it so that every is legally required to try to have children (admittedly some may fail to do so). If we wish to construct the laws to recognize biology, but not to in accord with it directly we would have laws that encourage people to have children without requiring them to do so (you know like giving benefits to couples who have children.)
