You know what? From what I've heard from you, it's probably best that you DON'T have ANY children anyway.

Are you talking about cats transmitting toxoplasmosis. This is a parasite that some cats can have and under certain circumstances transmit it to humans. It become a problem in with pregnant women who were never exposed to the parasite before (many people already have antibodies to this parasite and don't even know it). If she becomes infected while at a certain stage in pregnancy you risk complications such as mental retardation in the baby. Toxoplasmosis is more commonly spread through raw meat and gardening (all those stray cats that poop in your yard).

Perfectly healthy to own a cat whether you are male or female. There is a danger to pregnant women handling cat feces, so that is why it is suggested that pregnant women do not clean the litter box but have another family member do it instead. Other than that....no danger in owning a cat.

I'm not sure what you mean but as long as the humans are not allergic being around cats (whether the cats or people and male or female) it perfectly healthy.
I'm not sure what you mean about not letting them have babies, but if you mean that you have two cats, male and female- be sure they are spayed and neutered before putting them together.

I don't really understand your question
If you are asking whether it should be spayed, then yes. It prevents unwanted pregnancies and reduces the rick of ovarian cancer.
If you are asking if it safe for a baby to be around cats, then yes. Just make sure you monitor the behaviour at first.

Wow. That's possibly the most bizarre thing I have ever heard.
If it was unsafe, why would we have had cats as pets in our home for so many THOUSANDS of years?
Of course it's safe! It's a cat for crying out loud!

If you are asking if having a cat will make it more difficult for you to get pregnant, then no. Definitely not.

Cat poop can be dangerous if you are pregnant; you should have someone else clean your cat's litter if you are pregnant.
It's really hard to understand your English.

As long as the isn't an aggresive, baby attacking cat, and no one is allergic to it, it should be safe enough.
