Demographics done by a newspapermight be a little misleading. Not only are there a lot of people who would refuse to disclose (or refuse to disclose how many). As well, when it comes to socioeconomics, you likely see a lot of young women citing their family income, rather than their own.

I do think there are far too many superficial abortions, but I don't think we want to live in a society that refuses to allow people to make their decisions.

However, ken0042 brings up a good point about adoption. However, I was under the impression there are already more babies available for adoption than eager parents. Of course, with the allowance of same sex couples to adopt, that could change a little.
