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.
Would you? or would you see not-so young woman lie about their income downwards to make it appear like they had more 'legitimate reasons.' I will accept that the demographic study would be hard to accept as being entirely accurate, but I think it would be even more speculative to imply that its bias would trend one way or another without anything to base that on.
