There is no coersion.

That is the way you define things, but that is not immutable. There are very good reasons why the people who conceive children should not have the sole responsibility nor control of their offspring.

Many cultures have handled things differently.

No, there is a precise definition for coersion, and we are not speaking of other cultures.
