I genuinely had to argue with a friend of mine to convince her that not having a child when she didn't want one and her partner did was not a bad thing. She wasn't ready for kids, she wasn't interested in having kids, she wasn't sure about the relationship, and she and I were planning a trip overseas within a year or so - she kept talking about having the kid then leaving it with the dad till we got back.

She split up with the guy later. Turns out she'd been guilt-tripped into getting involved with him, and he and his friends kept telling her he might do "something stupid" if they ever split up, to stop her from leaving.

So yeah, I'm with you OP. Pressuring someone about children is disgusting. A child is not a pet, you can't return them if it doesn't go well. And the choice to have a child is a personal one.

This goes for guys, too. I find the idea of women getting themselves pregnant with unwilling guys just as unpleasant. You shouldn't force someone else into parenthood.
