Does Catholic restrictions on abortion and family planning explain the levels of Mexican and Latino immigration to the United States?
I was wondering if you could give me some information about the connection between Catholic restrictions on abortion and family planning and the levels of Mexican and Latino immigration to the United States.
Sure. According to some scholars, Catholic restrictions on abortion and family planning have contributed to larger family sizes among Mexican and Latino populations, as well as a lack of access to birth control. These factors may in turn have contributed to higher levels of immigration to the United States, as families seek to provide their children with better opportunities and economic security.
