Surely they were making no reference to human evolution at all? They were saying that the world is currently overpopulation and they had no wish to contribute further to this.
Evolution is the process of development and adaptation of life. It does not involve value judgements about someone's lifestyle. It is not a reason to reproduce. It simply states that only those who DO reproduce will pass on their specific genetic information.
As arrogant as they sound, it would hardly make them any less so if they insisted it was of particular importance that their specific genetic information be continued.
