US government wants to push population control worldwide, especially in developing countries where natural resources abound. More people mean more consumers which will deplete the natural resources. Less natural resources that the US can use and exploit is not a scenario the US government wants. Read the Kissinger Report.
On the opposing side, the Roman Catholic Church strongly campaigns for the rejection of any "unnatural" act to prevent procreation (except the Rhythm Method which they all know are ineffective) or any program to curb the human population. Opus Dei, a very conservative Catholic congregation, even encourages its lay members to have a lot of children. Lower population means less church-goers and therefore less revenues from collections and other church services.
Issues of morality, health, poverty, quality of life, and whatever ideas the proponents and opponents of the idea hurl at each other are just a smoke-screen.
