Quote:In 24 of the nation’s 50 states at least half of the babies born during the latest year on record had their births paid for by Medicaid, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

New Mexico led all states with 72 percent of the babies born there in 2015 having their births covered by Medicaid.

Arkansas ranked second with 67 percent; Louisiana ranked third with 65 percent; and three states—Mississippi, Nevada and Wisconsin—tied for fourth place with 64 percent of babies born there covered by Medicaid.

New Hampshire earned the distinction of having the smallest percentage of babies born on Medicaid. In that state, Medicaid paid for the births of only 27 percent of the babies born in 2015.

Virginia and Utah tied for the next to last position, with 31 percent of the babies born on Medicaid.

The left wants more welfare babies and the right see contraception as murder. Both are full of schit.

Your view of the left does not match anyone I know. I don't want more unwanted or poverty stricken babies, nor do I want more abortions.

Hardly all republican and some very very blue: California, New York - these two state are also heavily populated so not only is the percentage high but that percentage of a large total state population is huge count.

Also top 25: Washington, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, RI, DC

Would be interesting to see the raw numbers of babies born on Medicaid in those states rather than percentages.

While it might make financial sense, and fulfill Margaret Sanger's dream, I'd have to vote no...

Of course you don't. You are not in power. We all are just pawns Tom. Those in Washington don't have the same agendas we do. They are in a different game.
