Fox News Senior Medical Analyst Marc Siegel made some eyebrow-raising comments lamenting that birth rates are down among teenagers aged 15 to 19.
On Thursday, the National Center for Health Statistics reported that the U.S. fertility rate fell to another record low. The agency reported that the number of births per 1,000 women of childbearing age declined from 53.8 in 2024 to 53.1 last year. The latest figure represents a continuation of a decades-long decline in fertility rates.
Siegel joined Friday’s edition of America’s Newsroom, where Dana Perino said that while the continuing trend is not surprising, “the numbers might feel a little shocking.”
Someone should check that doctor’s hard-drives.
Thats all they care about. Bodies to feed the machine. Gross psychophants. Course kids are more conscious of pregnancy. Just cause theyre young you think theyll give their kids up to governemtn to fight some selfish bigoted war just to die, then work poverty levels never own a home just to feed the 401K of some billionaire while theyre surviving on cheese and crackers. Ugh I HATE these people!!!
“We beat teen pregnancy!” - “Oh no!”
Elaborated: “Oh no! Fewer poverty-locked consumer slaves! Who do we convince breast feeding is unhealthy and peddle formula to? How will we paint immigration as a bad thing if unemployment goes down? What if - heaven forbid - social mobility goes up?”
How do we blackmail people with no children to work shit jobs?
Low birth rate, low immigration, government deep in debt. This looks bad for US retirement plans.
Sounds like he’s one step away from suggesting the law be changed so he can impregnate them.
This is actually one of the only demographics where fertility has fallen. Adult women have been having more or less the same amount of kids for a while now
I have a female coworker and her daughter is currently eight months pregnant at 14 with a 17-year-old father. She couldn’t be happier. She is also a hardcore republican and a diehard Trump supporter.
WTF
Ruin your kids life early that is the republican motto. Trap them in never ending wage slavery.
Yep exactly, it runs in her family. She was pregnant with her first baby at 15 and her husband was in his early 40’s. Her husband is older than her dad by 5 years. She is currently 41 and her husband is 73. She also has a younger sister like 5 years younger and I believe she basically did the same thing being pregnant at 15-16 with a much older man.
Being a teen mom sky rockets the chance your children will become parents as teens
Yep, my best friend had his first child at 17 and now that child is 18 with 2 kids already.
I don’t like your coworker.
The replacement rate is down to 1.56, meaning every couple is having, on average, 1.56 children in the United States. We need two or above to keep the population at the same amount.
There’s actually another way to keep the population up, and it’s great for America economically and culturally, and it makes the world a better place at the same time.
Or maybe we give up on an economic model that requires unending population growth? Since you know, we live on a finite planet?
We have to find a path to degrowth. Stop repeating talking points that imply population growth is our only path forward.
Did you not understand that I was talking about immigration? Which is one of the ways we solve that. All of that.
Besides which we’re actually talking about keeping the population stable. A declining population is bad for everyone economically. Luckily population growth naturally slows down in modernized societies, which is why allowing people to immigrate is good for everyone.
Of course this is a major problem for the pedophile class. For the last 250 years the American Empire was able to function thanks to a countless number of uneducated people locked into perpetual poverty, having children at 14.
You hit the nail in the coffin, pedophile class is concerned their available victims are declining.
Party of pedophiles
Those 30 years old grandmas will be so proud
🤢
So that’s how they are now making pedophilia more accepted…… this is just great….
Lol yeah I bet it is $140 for a handful of things at Kroger and $45 at the pump plus $2,000 rent who’s having kids!!!
He’s advocating for girls under 18 to have children? 18 is the age of majority. If he’s advocating for sexual contact with children, he needs to be put on a list.
He’s probably already on a certain list. Should we check?
The Hundred Year Reign Of The Trumps needs soldiers
I think not having kids is the only realistic way to fight those capitalistic overlords. They can’t continue to get richer if the workforce, who does all the dirty work for them, keeps shrinking.
The issue, though, is that when only Conservatives have kids, the next generation grows up even more Conservative.
