According to the researchers, the decline of the U.S. crime rate may be the result of two mechanisms related to legalized abortion. First, following the Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973, more women at risk of having children who could later engage in criminal activity––teen-agers, those living in poverty or those with unwanted pregnancies, for example––opted for abortion. And second, improved maternal, familial or fetal circumstances may have led to better environments for raising children. I think there's less crimminals because they killed off a whole section of society.
If I killed all of NY, their crime rate would go down, too. Nobody would be left to do anything wrong!!
(PS - I'll never back Frist until he "repents". He's has to speak out against abortion before I'd support this guy. All we need is a baby killing liberal running the show!)
According to the researchers, the decline of the U.S. crime rate may be the result of two mechanisms related to legalized abortion. Research might reveal that the number of 'white collar' crimes substantially decreased in NYC, post Sept. 11, 2001.
