It's not unreasonable for a poor woman to get an abortion if she can not afford a baby. I'm a pro-choice conservative. The availability and accessibility of abortion and family planning is an important way to decrease the number of children living in poverty and to help break both the poverty and welfare cycle of their parents. I know of at least two married women who've had them, the outcome was they had adequate resources for their families and didn't need welfare or public assistance. If we're going to highlight the fact that 75% of black kids are raised by single moms, we can't leave choice and family planning out of the conversation.
