Kyros the facts do back my theories. What you mean is that you disagree with my theories which is something else altogether. << Your theories are not backed up by facts. >> But why you think women don't choose men rather than blindly mating is beyond me. Perhaps you haven't heard of the Flynn Effect, which is actually a fact and is part of my theory. Or maybe it's some other part of my theories you disagree with. . While there has been some reform of welfare, all that has done is reduce the very worst of the problem. There is still plenty to go around. If it all stopped right now, that would not alter the fact that what happened happened. If China stops the one-child policy tomorrow, that wouldn't mean the facts of the previous policy didn't happen. Mqurice

The US has drastically limited the practice of paying women to have babies -- the mid-1990s welfare reform. Births to unwed and teenage women in the US have been dropping. The only group experiencing increased births in the US are relatively rich Asians, who have the lowest out-of-wedlock birth rates. You are correct in that the US has limited the practice of paying no income and low income women to have children yet the birth rates among lower income women with less education are markedly higher than the rates for highly educated women. slate.com "Childlessness has increased across most demographic groups but is still highest among professionals. Indeed, according to an analysis of census data conducted by the Pew Research Center, about one quarter of all women with bachelor's degrees and higher in the United States wind up childless. (As Pew notes, for women with higher degrees, that number is actually slightly lower than it was in the early 1990s—but it is still very high.) By comparison, in England, which has one of the highest percentages of women without children in the world, 22 percent of all women are childless. According to the new Center for Work-Life Policy study, 43 percent of the women in their sample of corporate professionals between the ages of 33 and 46 were childless. The rate of childlessness among the Asian American professional women in the study was a staggering 53 percent. At the same time, the numbers of both unplanned pregnancies and births among poor women have climbed steadily in recent years. About half of all pregnancies in this country are unplanned, with poor women now five times more likely than higher-income women to have an unplanned pregnancy, and six times more likely to have an unplanned birth, according to the Guttmacher Institute's recent analysis of government data. pewsocialtrends.org
