Basically this, although I don't know if it's an intentional curtain, but "overpopulation" is only an issue because other issues have made it so, the huge imbalance in how resources are distributed on a global scale being chief among them.
I think that it's kind of stupid (calm and reasonable; HA!) to say that it's unconscionable to have children. We are basically still animals and until the great technological singularity carries us unto him in his cold heartless bosom, a lot of us are still going to want to sex each other and go gaga over our disgusting offspring. It's what humans do and instead of trying to stop humans from doing what humans do we should be figuring out ways to better sustain humans doing what humans do.
