Probably not in places like Germany where over half the population is over 45. As US becomes more like child-devoid europe, it will become even more hostile to children. And parents will be more and more slaves to the state, to raise children however society says they ought to be raised. The purpose of the parent is to pay and be punished, the purpose of the outsider is to rest on the smug shoulders of the state and proclaim how morally superior they are at no cost to themselves.
As it becomes increasingly apparent having children is a suckers game where everyone piles on the penalties to you while eagerly awaiting the social security payments of your children (you make ~all the investment, then they take the profits), they will have even fewer.
If you feel that parents are treated unfairly, the solution is to impose a tax on people without children and use it to pay the salary for raising kids. I think everybody agrees that monetary support is much better than verbal and moral support.

Yes, one of the biggest mistakes I see some people without children make is believing that they have no vested interest in people raising children.
