Is abortion eugenics for the poor? [View all]

Someone asked me this and I don't really have a good answer so I though I would ask this group. It certainly seems that poor people have more of them. I wouldn't think this plausible but with studies of HIV/AIDs training in the late 80s and reverse redlining for junk home loans it might be worth examining.
