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.”

    Blocked. I don’t fuck around with white supremacist bullshit.

    In brief, the people I’m talking about ARE almost all old white men. It just shows who you are that you leap to defend them.

      That is projection on your part as I am in no way defending that group, more pointing out that is not exclusive to one race or another and calling it out like you did is just racist. Calling out the sociopaths and psychopaths who tend to get into leadership positions is what we need to do and not an entire group of people most of which are just living there lives peacefully. People who are behaving horribly need to be brought to justice, all of them, regardless of race as they are in every single race and are THE thorn in the backside of humanity.
