Well this isn’t good.

It is also incorrect.

The American Birth Rate is not falling.

U.S. birth rate for 2025 was 11.99, a 0.12% decline from 2024.
U.S. birth rate for 2024 was 12.01, a 12.23% increase from 2023.
U.S. birth rate for 2023 was 10.70, a 2.73% decline from 2022.
U.S. birth rate for 2022 was 11.00, a 0% increase from 2021.

Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear.

Also the number of births is holding steady for the last three years at 3.6 million a year (using an average of the first ten months for the last two months) after dropping from 3.9 million in 2016.

The number of births per year for the last three years are 100,000 below the ten year average of 3,712,479.

Lastly, a bit of trivia. Apparently, December is the most active month for procreation as the most births are in August. July and then September are second and third for births.
