Again: I am paying for it, through paying for insurance.
Also: do you really think that humans who are poor, and perhaps unprepared (mentally, economically, physically perhaps) to raise a child, are going to deny the single most basic and powerful human urge??
You have an absurd view of humans if you think that people are going to stop having sex. If you want people to have unplanned parenthood continue with your view. If you want people to have children on purpose, in a planned and [hopefully] prepared way--make sure people can access birth control, regardless of their economic standing.
Also: you may want to look into the book Freakonomics and its section on abortion. It may possible be in the sequel, SuperFreakonomics. Both are worth reading in their entirety.
