>limiting human population
The choice of reproduction is generally considered a human right. The U.N. has adopted the following verbiage within their humans rights:
>"couples have a basic human right to decide freely and responsibly on the number and spacing of their children"[1]
Unless, of course, you are simply saying people should choose at the individual level to limit their children.

- toomuchtodo 5y agoThere are 121 million unintended pregnancies per year per the UN. Maybe help those folks not have kids they don’t want? People themselves want to limit their fertility and simply don’t have robust options or socioeconomic support to do so. > Nearly half of all pregnancies, totalling 121 million each year worldwide, are unintended, according to a new report published on Wednesday by the UN’s sexual and reproductive health agency, UNFPA. > For example, an estimated 257 million women around the world who want to avoid pregnancy are not using safe, modern methods of contraception. https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/03/1115062 https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/03/1115062
