No, my argument is based on the assumption that the reason birth rates for poor women went down after abortions became available and affordable for those women is that they exercised their choice to not deliver a child they couldn’t support and raise responsibly.
I am curious though about your second statement..
if troubled women are those who are opting not to have an abortion and opting not to give up their children (thus the waiting lists for those perfect adoptable babies) …
and troubled women are those who are contributing to the problems of unwanted children in our foster system…
why is having the child at any cost a good thing for the young mother, the child or society?
