Fox News analyst Dr. Marc Siegel complained that girls as young as 15 years old are not having enough babies, even though they can’t financially support infants:
But the problem is teens and young adults from ages 15 to 19, 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.
Many conservatives have been whining over the drop in teen birth rates.

Let's be clear, teenagers not having babies is a good thing. The gop's obsession with birth rate & wanting teen girls to have babies is beyond creepy & disturbing. pic.twitter.com/DowbAwJLLT
