welfare and babies

A lot of figures are tossed around mentioning a welfare state creates more out of wedlock
babies. That may be true when you have to be an unmarried single parent to collect welfare.


Another notion is that this occurs in many western countries.


A few figures mentioned:


Iceland 2 out of 3
USA 4 out of 10
S Korea 1 out of 65


An interesting thread for discussion and policies ? Let's see. And maybe posters will actually stay on topic for more than 4 or 5 posts, instead of drifting to trash talk.

Im on record for having population control. By any means necessary! It would help or even nearly solve many of the worlds problems across the board. Including cutting welfare needs
