Default Welfare babies,

Yes, educated women do have fewer children...but FIRST ya gotta educate
them to NOT have their first child at 15 or 16.

In the "welfare ccycle", one girl has her first baby at 15, is a
grandmother by 33 and a great grandmother by 50. People repeat wwhat
they experience as "reality". A child who knows her great grandmother
is a welfare recip, whose mom is a recip also, pretty much sees having
kids young and getting on the wellfare roll as the norm---it's what
people do. Three generations of highschool dropouts having babies
doesnt tend to establish the concept of staying UNpregnant, finishing
school and going ON to college in the wellfare child.

Something needs to happen to break this cycle.
