Is anyone able to tell me why?

Rhetorical question, eh? But do you know that this is a fact?

No, I don't. But I suspect that this is so; and there are considerable numbers of Mormons where I live.

Note the qualifiers "most" and "relatively".

There are facts that include the words 'most' and 'relatively'. A fact can include a statement of quantified uncertainty.

One can't say it has anything to do with race or ethnicity at all since plenty of poor white have tons of children that they can't afford to take care. Would someone be so kind as to explain to me why this is? It is the same all over the world too.

Sex is a form of entertainment. In this country it costs money even to swim (unless you are doing it illegally in some restricted body of water.)

Indeed. That's why my post included those terms: to elicit a factual response.

Got one?

This is something I have a hard time trying to grasp.
If food is scarce a bird will produce 1 egg instead of 3, as is the same probably throughout the animal kingdom.
Why then do humans,without the means to provide for them continue to have babies.?
Is this the price of evolution?!

maybe it has something to do with alcohol and drug abuse. when you are poor you are probably pretty miserable and the way you escape is to abuse drink and drugs which makes you do stupid things like have unprotected sex.
