This is rubbish. The decision to have children or not is personal, not political. No one is either going to mandate nor forbid having babies. So what are you fussing about? There are 8 billion of us already, well beyond the carrying capacity of our planet. And overshoot of population is always followed by collapse. Which do you prefer—voluntarily declining to have children (for those who so choose) or likely condemning newborns to face catastrophic collapse and die-off in the near future? That choice is up to each of us, but if you choose the latter, you should at least be aware of our global predicament, and plan accordingly.
