See this doesn't make sense.
You tell people not to be poor, to make good decisions and you want to make a barrier to the choice that will allow them the best chance of not being poor. You also increase the population of future poor by forcing the poor to have children where as those with the means have abortions.
So if you are effectively forcing people to have children don't you then have an obligation to pay for their health care and education costs. Isn't paying for an abortion the most economical way of dealing with the issue.
