They don't, they lay eggs, though there may be one or two species that carry their eggs in their mouths, or in pouches on their backs for protection until they hatch. One exception are species from the genus Nectophrynoides; these are live-bearers.
Frogs are sensitive to aquatic environmental pollution and it is mainly for this reason that their demise has attracted considerable concern. Frogs lay naked, unprotected eggs in fresh water. The eggs and tadpoles are therefore exposed to aquatic pollutants which either interferes with growth processes (thus causing abnormalities), or are so toxic that they will kill them.
The trigger for awareness was the extinction of the Gastric Brooding Frog, Rheobatrachus silus in southeast Queensland, Australia. In 1974 it was reported to be unique in the animal kingdom in swallowing its eggs, incubating its young in its stomach, and giving birth to baby frogs through its mouth. This news attracted worldwide attention, but one winter the total population disappeared. It has not been seen for 25 years!
