Has it occurred to you that the decline in family size has less to do with speculation about how happy the children will be and everything to do with economics?   In agrarian cultures without mechanization, children are a financial plus. For people living in modern economies,  they are a financial cost.

Or birth control/reproductive autonomy for women?

That too.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
