In two posts , I described five different studies that conclude that more intelligent (or more educated) pregnant women are much more likely to get an abortion.

By Zita Tulyahikayo The other night, as I lay back in my lavender-scented bath and applied my honey-flavoured face mask, I breathed in the fantastic aromas and felt my whole body relax.

My face mask was a mixture of...

I limited the sample to married women ages 35 to 44, measured during any survey since 1990 (to maximize N). A husband's income should matter as well, and in the absence of a question about his income, I used one concerning the socioeconomic status...
