I think you may be mistakenly assuming I’m suggesting we outlaw or limit the right to procreate. There are currently people having children who don’t even want to be having them. I’m suggesting governments stop forcing that to happen by allowing people to plan their own families.
e: I’d also like to add that unending population growth is a capitalist problem. Capitalist governments have to expand the work force or else they can’t maintain growth for growth’s sake. Under a healthier government or anarchy there would be no need to encourage population growth because people who want children would simply have them.
Having children is not the problem OMFG. Unsustainable consumerism and capitalism is, however
ok, and when there are 40 billion people, that’s not gonna be a problem? We only have so many resources, not sure if you’re aware of that.

Yup, approximately 50% of pregnancies are unplanned globally. The U.S. has a rate similar to the global rate.
Focus on preventing unplanned pregnancies. And make being child-free socially acceptable. That’s it. No “eco-fascism” measures needed.
