So teen girls should be having babies when they lack a stable life situation, aren't financially secure, and don't have the right partner? What happens to their babies, then? I suppose they will be raised by those who are in a stable life situation, are financially secure, and do have the right partner. They really do want The Handmaid's Tale to come to life.Fox senior medical analyst says that part of the fertility rate “problem” in the country is fewer teen pregnancies
DANA PERINO (FOX HOST): Well, new data from the CDC shows the U.S. fertility rate reached another record low last year, only 53.1 births per 1000 women aged 15-44. So that continues a nearly two decade long trend. Let's bring in Dr. Marc Siegel Fox News Senior Medical Analyst and, of course, the author of the most amazing book The Miracles Among Us. Okay here's the fertility charges so everybody can see this. I don't think this trend is not going to be a big surprise to people but the numbers might feel a little shocking. How do you see it.
MARC SIEGEL (FOX SENIOR MEDICAL ANALYST): Absolutely. We still have 3.6 million births a year, but the problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19 the fertility rate is down 7% and it's down 70% 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, till they're more financially secure, maybe they haven't found the right partner.
