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.”
The 1.56 needs to be over 2 only makes sense if you deny all immigrants access. I would say the population of the U.S. has never declined in its history but that wouldn’t be true. We fell by .06% in 1918 do to a couple ignoramus things like the Spanish Flu and world war 1.
If you want population increase… Don’t do what Trump has done
Some of our highest population rates came under Presidents like Trump. The Napoleonic Wars were great for US economic expansion
True, but women were also popping out 7 field hands per person at the time… And we need 15/16 less field hands now. So immigration or not, we are above schedule. 7 kids, yikes. But shit to be afford 7 kids… wow
