They mean the number of babies people are choosing to have. Right? Fertility is fine.

Fertility is fine, contraceptives are working, ability to provide for a family is goooonnnneee.

Yeah I hate it when they use the wrong word probably for clicks or some bs.

Natality sells less I guess.

Well, generally yes, though we do see a higher percentage of men with reduced sperm count, which is ripe for conspiracy.

In reality, our sedentary, obese, non smoking lives result in less male fertility.

Are you implying that smoking increases fertility?

Surely not, considering how categorically false that is.
