No. It's because it inevitably puts you in the position of deciding who gets to have children while the rest are denied such privileges for the good of the species.

When I think of reducing the population I think simply of making birth control universally free and public information campaigns about the environmental cost of more humans. Nothing more than that, and that'd honestly be a huge step in a country where large swaths support abstinence-only sex education.
