      When I see what a hassle having kids is, how stressful it is, the expense, and dire prospects of a good economic future it makes no sense.

      The most cynical narcissist will have kids so someone will take care of them in their old age but how likely is that?

      I just don’t see why I’d want to. It doesn’t make sense.

      It’s true that it’s not 100% a choice, but physically there’s nothing stopping people from having kids. People are (fairly) prioritizing their financial security over having kids.

      Though this may be a comment on abortion. In which case abortion is healthcare and a human right.

      I would say that this is correct so long as we have the words informed choice based upon economic realities.
