good grief - no!This isn't a Mars in Scorpio "thing" -
there's definitely more going on in their charts that would possibly be the cause for this naive and selfish motivation.
Look at their 5th houses if you know their Ascendants, as well as their 4th, measure out their water house/placements, and look at their Moon.
Children are found in the 5th house, and families in the 4th (4th is indicative of their own family background, as well as their distant future - elders, ancestors, the home)
It could be possible they have late decan MiS square to Cancer/Leo Moon or Suns, they could have (possibly), an over abundance of fire placements, and (t) squares within the fixed signs, that would give them this brash ideal, and stubbornness... as well as Neptune placements that will cause a delusional idea of the family archetype and what they are prepared for/a resistance to reality...
Their 2nd house "values" may also play into it.
I would also take a look at their aspects with Ceres and Juno.
Scorpio may be a water sign, and fixed, but Scorpion energy will create a need for introspective, deep relationships, Scorpions by nature are guarded, the race of Scorpion people from mythology were actually guardians to a sacred gateway. A protective parent should be expected of a Scorpion Mars, Venus, Moon, and Sun... relationship values, since this sign belongs in the 8th house are geared toward securing their material welfare and that of others around them, ensuring that their loved ones will not meet will hidden dangers. I do not believe this placement alone would produce a spontaneous, selfish, and naive urge like these sound to me to be.
As a Scorpion Plutonic-Martian, Sagittarius ruling my IC Jupiter within the house, and a 5th house Capricorn Sun, with Saturn in Scorpio... I have never, ever, felt any strong urge to reproduce, especially blindly for that intent alone. Like Freesia has stated above, the primary urge regarding children for me is defined by a need to give full consideration and time for a solid bond to form with my mate, before ever taking that plunge or any other... My need for control, and security is Mars-Pluto and Saturn driven.
If they lack any restraint, and elements that would give them foresight, and a realistic approach to their goals/goal-setting... it really (IMHO) sounds like a fire spawned and Neptune induced tendency... Neptune may be transiting their 5th or 8th houses, or Sun/Moon right now... hopefully, (because this really doesn't sound healthy to me, sorry), they get a grip on reality... or that at the very least find new interests with Uranus, Pluto, Saturn transits, and mature... yes... mature.
I don't mean to be harsh sounding... sorry if I do. ;; Just really feel sorry for the children of unprepared /and/ unrealistic parents. ESPECIALLY, the younger ones... (because I was looked at as one of them even though I was engaged, and older than I appeared when I had my son.) The reality check comes no matter what when you have that first child... that's when you really get to see how frivolous or ignorant you were before... trust me~ T_T *living proof* And, I consider myself one of the more prepared and mature ones...
Maybe remind them a few times andstuff that they will be sleepless for months... walking dead on their feet at 3AM to 6AM with teething infants, and even if they have family and friends behind them... it is ultimately going to be their responsibility - and it is a responsibility - to look out for what their actions lead to... And, children... are $$$... ask 'em if they're prepared for all that, when/if you discuss these things with them!?
(If they want kids so bad they should first get a long living, hardy plant, and then try an animal (pet), children are a commitment... and half of the time these younger women who are so damn determined to have them without any actual forethought aren't even prepared to babysit a 10 year old, let alone deal with a crying, fussy, needy infant, and god forbid they have twins/triplets... hah! Most will fail at even keeping the plant alive, honestly... then, you say.... well - there's your sign. lol ~it's the truth of it, ime!) ^^;
