Interestingly, in the past it was usually men who made the rules and decisions about this kind of thing rather than women being allowed to decide for themselves.

Imo, men's domination of the rules of procreation is a relatively new development in the human community. Prior to the industrial revolution and the urbanization/factory-ization of the human community, before thousands of years of women-possessed herblore was lost and replaced with the male-possessed medical institution - women commonly had the knowledge and means by which to prevent or terminate pregnancy...openly before the male ascendency became institutionalized, and secretly for awhile during the transition.
