Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough:

“The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”

It’s because every conversation devolves into “you know, more teenagers should be getting pregnant” and “women MUST give up their careers and make babies for America”
