Where did I suggest that anything other than personal freedom should enter into the decision to limit population growth?

You didn't. I just made the point that I believe one thing leads to another, whether or not that is the intent.

I don't think it necessarily does. If everyone who cares about promoting freedom would cease and desist from claiming that there is no reason to worry about unchecked population growth, and switch to a tune of voluntarily limiting reproduction as an essential part of the fight for freedom, we'd be making a lot of progress. Instead, so-called conservatives jump on the PC bandwagon and scream "racism" every time anyone suggests that people in poverty stricken third world countries, and in welfare-addicted domestic slums and public housing projects, need to be advised that their ticket out of misery is to stop having so many children.
