It’s only a choice if you live purely for yourself. It’s the job of the state to make short sighted, self absorbed thinking like this unpalatable since people can only think in self absorbed, short term ways.

What a misanthropic world view.

How about we make it easier for people who want kids to have them, and we stop vilifying people who don’t want kids?

There are many ways to contribute to society. Some of the kindest most selfless people I know don’t want kids. It’s fine, humanity will manage.
