A Dying Civilization?

What blog are you referring to?

Edit: Just now found the link now in your post. Maolsheachlann, might I suggest coloring hyperlinks so they stand out from the general text? 

That blog is so miserable and depressing it reminds me of the first time I encountered Camus, and I'm not at all surprised to find Camus referenced on the blog.

There are many reasons why our contemporaries are not having children, or else not having enough children: prolonged immaturity even into adulthood; the easy availability of relationships providing many of the comforts of marriage without the attendant responsibilities; alienation, uprootedness and disconnectedness from identity and community being inimical to stable family formation; the toxic influence of third-wave feminism; property prices out of control, cost of living out of control; the necessity of having two incomes in order to provide for a family all combine to discourage both marriage and child-rearing. Those who do reproduce at higher levels seem to be those living long-term on social welfare, and these almost never provide a stable family environment, inasmuch as they are often single-parent efforts with children by several different mothers/fathers.

The relentless propaganda against the traditional family and its accompanying economic meddling, which has been going on for decades, has resulted in births declining below replacement level in all European countries. This has been followed more recently by the importing of teeming millions of 'refugees' from the third world. (The two are not unconnected, and I wonder if the latter was in fact part of the plan all along)

The blogger has raised anti-natalism to a philosophical, almost dogmatic, level. Not everyone who chooses not to have children (or who positively refuses to procreate) is opposed to procreation for the same reasons advanced on the blog, and I think his hyper-intellectualized pessimism ought to be a turn-off for many. I wonder if the level of interest it has generated derives from the climate of nihilism and despair that prevails (chiefly among younger people) at the present time. 

Could you leave a link to the article? Thanks

I agree with your last point about assuming a childless couple chose not to have children. 2 of my siblings have had children at the drop of a hat, one has had great difficulty and another hasn't been able to conceive at all. We need to be very careful when singling out individuals and making lazy and perhaps insensitive judgements.
