From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 7%\" pic.twitter.com/YlxCoyZxlx\n>\n> — FactPost (@factpostnews) April 10, 2026\n\n\n_We have the video_\n\nThere are always political events which surprise me.\n\nI'm not omniscient, and I acknowledge that.\n\nBut nothing could have prepared me for Republicans have come out in favor of teen pregnancy.\n\nAs Anna Russel would say, \"I'm not making this up, you know.\"\n\n> During a Friday segment on Fox News's America’s Newsroom with anchor Dana Perino, senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel called a declining birth rate among people aged 15-19 a \"problem.\"\n>\n> The discussion revolved around new CDC data showing the United States fertility rate, based on birth rates, has fallen to a record low based. The fertility rate fell 7 percent in 2025, from 53.8 births per 1,000 childbearing aged women—defined as age 15 to 44—in 2024 to 53.1, according to a report released by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics on Thursday.\n>\n> ………\n>\n> But when reviewing the graph of birth rates by age of the mother over year of birth, Siegel remarked:\n>\n>> \"We still have 3.6 million births a year. But the problem is teens and young adults from ages 15 to 19.\"\n>\n> Siegel added:\n>\n>\n>> \"The fertility rate is down 7 percent, and it’s down 70 percent over the last two decades, meaning we’re telling people that are young not to have babies, to wait until they’re in a more stable life situation, until they’re more financially secure. Maybe they haven’t found the right partner.\"\n\nI'd ask what the f%$# is wrong with these people, but it would be a multi-hour effort just to index that list using a super-computer.\n\n>",
