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.”

    Maybe it’s because people can’t afford to feed themselves and actually realise that having 1-2 additional mouths to feed isn’t a recipe for happiness.

    He should focus on people having free education, free healthcare, jobs that allow them to have a decent life, but he and pieces of shit like him ruined millions of lives and will ruin millions more and a failing economy won’t stimulate a population boom.
