    ~26000 births isnt a lot though compared to the 375000 births that occur in Texas every year.

      It’s about 7%. That is a lot.

      The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before? I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.

        In a school with 1400 kids, 100 of them are rape babies. Figure that’s a high school, with four grades. 350 kids per grade. 25 people in each grade is a rape baby.

        That’s like an entire class room.

      1 in 14.4 based on your numbers, sounds pretty dang high in my opinion.
