This is a flawed rule then.

The birth rate of 1.5 children per women in Canada for example is unsustainable. Having it less than 2.0 means a lot of people are not pulling their weight in society. While there are other factors, not having children is immoral. For one, who will take care of you once you are no longer active? Our system relies on the next generation tax to pay services to elderly.
Yes!
> Is it immoral for me to have 3 kids because it means exponential growth, overpopulation, famine and destruction of the Earth? If we follow the logic to its end, the only moral choice is for everyone to have not 1, not 3 but exactly 2 kids.
Limiting to 2 would cause the extinction of the human race. Some people should have 3 so that we get a sustainable level of population growth - especially people in countries where the population is declining.
(I'm not anti-emulator, I'm not even a huge fan of the categorical imperative, but this is an astonishingly weak counterargument)
