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.”
Let’s just break this down as a little reminder:
I am a little confused why everyone is forgetting that teens have sex with other teens. >.>
It’s not creepy for an 18 year old to have sex with an 18 year old.
I didn’t forget, but it is old white men hyper about this, and considering how many old white men are creepy around teens, suddenly being interested in them getting pregnant is extremely creepy.
Teens will always have sex, sure, although many fewer are as compared to previous decades. I’m not so worried about them.
Also… do we REALLY want teens getting pregnant?
That is just being racist as countless studies show this is a human race issue not a white men only.
