I think if someone wants to have children it’s their right. Is the problem really about the environment in this regard? This thing about a fair start doesn’t (at least from what you noted) factor in things like social, economic, and political injustices which keep access to these things needed for a “fair start” hindered for some. Maybe the earth’s resource are “dwindling” because of the subset who’s greedy and hoarding perhaps? That said, it could be that the resources really aren’t dwindling but the chosen few want and feel entitled to access to it given their (self appointed) sense of importance as compared to the other “peasantry?”
I bring that up because who’s to really say who should and shouldn’t have children and what would the qualifiers really be to determine that? To me this sounds like something that would , cunningly, promote & cater to an elitist world view that preaches and perpetuates the very issues highlighted to convince people that this is the way to go. That’s not to say I want to see children starving and struggling but this theoretical view sounds bunk to me and, at best, is very questionable from both a practical and moral standpoint.
