That wasn't the implication. Limiting birth rates would be a reduction in quality of life. However, there's a trade off. If there are multiple daily quality of life restrictions, then those could outweigh the singular restriction on reproduction. Also, the reproductive choice has consequences, potentially negative ones, on the others who are already living. If we want to discuss limiting diets, vehicles, housing, and all other things that are tied to consumption, then perhaps reasonable limits on reproduction should be discussed as well.
