I can't speak for any other state but in South Carolina's case the majority of these babies come from the "Corridor of Shame". A belt of poor rural counties along I95.
What else do these counties have in common? How they vote. Here's the 2016 election map.
Oh, and another thing.......when discussing illegal immigration I often bring up rural South Carolina counties being devastated by illegals taking away jobs and hurting economies.....these are the counties where it's happening the most.
Accurate post is accurate.

We may be family then, as my ancestors on my paternal Grandmother's side originally settled in what is now Orangeburg County before moving deeper into the frontier. I have a Great-Uncle who ended up moving back to Orangeburg Co after he returned from WWII and bought a farm from some distant relatives.

I think we talked about this one time before. One of the names is "Zeigler" (also Ziegler) if that means anything to you. He and some of his brothers and extended family served in the SC 17th (I think that's the right regiment, going off memory).

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.

All republican states?
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.
New Mexico is a red state.
Which is also overrun by immigrants.

Giving birth in the US is one of the easiest way to get citizenship, and hospitals will do the medical assistance paperwork for you so that they can get paid.

Quote:Black Americans make up 32% of welfare recipients, even though they comprise a mere 12% of the US population. So the demographics of welfare recipients are not comparable to the overall demographics of the US. Even more concerning, Black Americans are more than twice as likely to have been on welfare than White Americans.
...
27% of Black Americans live in poverty compared to only 10% of non-Hispanic White Americans.

What does this mean?

I don't know too many pro-life people who feel that way.
Quote:I mean c'mon man, you gotta pick one. Or else you just look like a tool.
Here is my problem with this statement...
Usually, when a pro choice person says something like this they are not really genuine about their underlying complaint..
Pro Choice Person - So you think a woman who was raped should have to carry the baby?
In reality they are using a very edge case to justify all abortions. If you say to them.
"Fine, I'll give you rape, incest, and the life of the mother. And I am ok with my taxes going up 5% to support the pregnancies and early childhoods.... Can we make all other abortion illegal"
They back away...
Quote:I'm sorry but if you're hardcore pro-life then you pretty much vacate your justification for whining about stuff like this.
I disagree.... That's like saying "If you want a strong national defense you have no right to ever complain about military spending/waste"

It's for the best in the long run if we could get jobs to the area. A lot of these places haven't had a great economy in a long time. I'd be funding the he'll out their community colleges in order to get small businesses off the ground and provide skills that companies will come to the area for.
Small business isn't going to help. They need industry but unlike the rest of the state these counties wasted tax money on leftist pet projects instead of building infrastructure. Forty years ago there was no appreciable difference in Lexington and Orangeburg counties except Lexington was pouring money into infrastructure and Orangeburg wasn't. Now the difference is stark.
What were the pet projects?
There used to be first class basketball courts and gyms in every one of those little towns until the money ran out and they couldn't maintain them. Several of them spent big money on festival grounds for events that happen one weekend a year. Really ornate courthouses and town squares. Sidewalks out into rural areas.
The saddest thing is the majority of these counties already have transportation infrastructure in place, be it Interstate or major US highways or railways, and proximity to port facilities in Charleston, Savannah, and even Wilmington, NC one would think that there would be natural development but the lack of water and sewer in these counties led to the industries locating in Charleston, Richland, Lexington, Florence, Greenville, and Spartanburg counties instead, areas that were disciplined enough to avoid spending money on fluff and instead spent it on their future.
As I stated, these decisions were made forty+ years ago, and at this point I seriously doubt it can be corrected. First off they don't have the money anymore, and much like Aesop's fable of the grasshopper and the ants the counties that did prepare for the future aren't too willing to now foot the bill for them after already bootstrapping themselves up years ago. Second, they aren't willing to admit this is a mess of their own making. It's either the "evil" corporation's fault for not being willing to locate in sub-par conditions or the state's fault for not cutting them a check or both. So because it isn't their fault the only solution they can come up with is for somebody else to give them more money.
I can believe that. These areas really remind me of Eastern NC, which is really just now getting the infrastructure it needs.
I did server upgrades for Food Lions in Dillon, Bennettsville, Orangeburg, and a few others over a few weeks. Did not seem like the best of places.
