Well, we had two kids, and they have given us 6 grandchildren, and 1 great-granddaughter. So the alarmists obviously don't include people like me.
The alarming thing is that they do.
The basic premise of Steyn's book is that simple math requires an
average of more than two births per adult couple in order to repopulate the species (or race) with zero growth. Further, no specific population have EVER historically fallen slightly below that and bounced back to survive. Essentially, a society or race that falls below 2 births/couple is a dead society/race.
Every European nation's traditional population is well below 2, while their Muslim immigrants are upwards of 5-6. We're witnessing in Scandinavia now, a hint at the fate of Europe as a whole.
America hovers just above 2 - and the only reason we do is because of Blacks, Hispanics, rural families, and Christian families - particularly Catholics.
Still, we hover just above 2, which means our White population is not having children at rates any more prolific than Europe.
The Caucasian race is killing itself with the notion that children are not "required", or worse yet, that they are "bad for the planet".
