Good on you for actually putting some thought into why and how you want to have a kid.
holy sh*t. Did someone actually give you crap about having a kid? I live in one of the hippiest dippiest places on the planet and I have yet to see anything like that. We have more doulas than you can shake a stick at.
Just because the world in general is a little overpopulated doesn't mean that who can bring a kid into the world the right way shouldn't. It would be dumb for the US to go into negative population growth just to balance out countries that don't have the resources to sustain their own growth. It should be more about improving medical care and education in poorer countries so they don't feel obligated to pound out a ton of kids because of the country's crappy life expectancy.
I don't want kids because I know any progeny of mine will be demon-spawn. With the technology available nowadays my kid would be in jail at 8 years of age for hacking into the DoD database.
