Obama's America

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.

It's not that too many poor are having kids... It's that too many middle and upper middle class are deciding to not have kids, or only have one snowflake, or just the "boy/girl" complete set.

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.

I have no problem paying for children. It's their free loading parents that I object to.

Going on the assumption that most of these folks were probably on public assistance before having these children....Why the hell do we not demand contraception implantation to receive public assistance? The last thing these people need is another mouth to feed that the taxpayers are going to pay for.

Of the 24 states at 50% or higher, by my count Trump won 17 of them.

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.

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.

Gross oversimplification.

1 - Ardent Catholics see any contraception as sin *NOT MURDER*
2 - Ardent Catholics consider abortion, and thus abortifacients as murder
3 - Most on the right don't have an issue with Barrier contraception

You need to do some more reading on Sanger.

Id even add cash incentives and job training to facilitate such a program. At some point we have to break the cycle of institutionalized welfare. The new implants are good for up to 5 years...for women and men. They can be removed when a person removes themselves from the public dole.

On this they do. The left pushes for abortions to remain available and also pushes for PP which promotes contraception.

any leftists want to see the demographics of these states? do a little digging and it reveals A LoT more than "Muh, Red states on welfare."
