In short, it does appear there is at least a shred of truth to this. In 1977 Holdren co-Authored a book called Ecoscience in which these types of
measures were called for. One can find a related article here. Yes its infowars, however they are simply quoting the book and to provide proof, I am
providing an online link to the book itself. Look at the pages and quotes in question, its real, and in print. First Infowars quotes,
“Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under
the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
“One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption—especially those born to minors, who
generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through
adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for single
people than for married couples, in recognition of the relative difficulty of raising children alone. It would even be possible to require pregnant
single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society.”
“Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary
fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No
such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff
requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and
sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex,
children, old people, pets, or livestock.”
Toward a Planetary Regime
“Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort
of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development,
administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications
exist. Thus the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers
and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all
international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market.”
“The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating
various countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the
Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.”

There are more quotes in the article but for now thats enough. If one still wants more proof you can read the book itself here.
