Since members of the welfare class are more likely to get abortions I would say it would be 50/50.

Actually, since welfare pays per baby, it encourages live births.

I lived in a welfare town long enough and to those deadbeats, children = cash. They don't have abortions, they use the pregnancies to get on welfare in the first place and to game the system.

Unless your number can be verified statistically, then there is no basis to presume that your assumption is correct.

States have been changing the per baby rationale so it may not be the incentive it once was.

My assumption is not effected. The probability that a welfare class member will have an abortion is higher than a non-welfare class member. That does NOT mean that there are more abortions in the welfare class than in the non-welfare class.

People really should understand what is said before getting too upset about it.
