Lead
I liked your lead, I think it gave a better overview of the article than the original lead did. I especially liked that you stated it was a stereotype.

Content, Tone, and Balance
I think given the topic of the article, you were pretty neutral in your analysis. I think it was a good idea to take away "male" and "women", both in the lead and the origin sections to make it more gender neutral, this makes it clearer that the term welfare queen is a gendered stereotype.

Additionally, your changes in the Impact section were good, I just one thoughts on the structure of the paragraphs. I think your changes worked really well to assist in the flow and structure of the argument, but I believe the two paragraphs below should be flipped:


 * "Champlin argues that the current welfare system punishes poor single mothers by not providing adequate access to contraceptives or abortions, if a woman does not wish to get pregnant, or having family caps that limit welfare benefits for women with children. It seems that regardless of whether a woman chooses to have children or not, her capabilities in achieving those desires are severely restricted by the policies and attitudes of the welfare system, which places the blame of poverty on the women and reinforces the cycle of poverty. Welfare benefits have been used as a tool for reproductive oppression and prevent their autonomy over their bodies. The reproductive oppression is partially rooted in the beliefs that having children outside of a marriage results the reliance on welfare and additional children that will continue the culture of poverty. These limitations in black single mothers' reproductive rights as requirements for welfare follows a theme of the social control of the poor, specifically where the reproduction of "fit" or "unfit" groups are controlled by those in power who deem minoritized groups, who do not follow a white, heteronormative ideal, as substandard and less fit to have reproductive autonomy."
 * "The impact of the "Welfare queen" stereotype extended to welfare policies, affecting poor single mothers. These policies often failed to provide adequate access to contraceptives or abortions, limiting welfare benefits for women with children through family caps. This restricted women's reproductive autonomy and perpetuated the cycle of poverty. The stereotype's underlying belief that having children outside of marriage leads to reliance on welfare further marginalized Black single mothers."

I think switching the order of these paragraphs gives a bit more clarity. This is just a suggestion though!

Lastly, I really like the addition of Media Rhetoric! I think this will provide additional context of how this term is view and is perpetuated.

Overall
Overall, I think your additions were incredible. I think you definitely improved the quality of the article.
