Stop trying to paint nonsensical portraits of other people using negative implications that are also involved in your bizarre point of view. Another total contradiction.
That kind of thinking is pretty common though, it's just the degree that matters for most. For example even though you're pro-natal would you think it was right for a couple who knew they had the recessive genes that produce Tay-Sachs disease to reproduce? If you don't know what that is here's the wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay%E2%80%93Sachs_disease
The long and short of it though is that if their child inherited the disease they would be guaranteed to die an excruciating death before they turned 5 years old. If a couple knew this could be the fate of any children they had, would you think it irresponsible of them to take that gamble? I think most people would say it wouldn't be fair for the potential child.

That's on the extreme end but there's a whole spectrum, should someone with schizophrenia have children and possibly pass it onto them? What about this?

As you go up the spectrum there are plenty of people who believe that people too poor to care for their children shouldn't have them, and some extend that to certain ethnic groups and so on but even before that point it's still a type of judgemental discrimination.
"My life is so nice, I'm glad I was born, but how on earth can [insert group X here] stand to bring more of their kind into existence?"

I don't discriminate, I don't think anyone should have kids period.
