Crime began to fall roughly 18 years after abortion legalization. The 5 states that allowed abortion in 1970 experienced declines earlier than the rest of the nation, which legalized in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. States with high abortion rates in the 1970s and 1980s experienced greater crime reductions in the 1990s. In high abortion states, only arrests of those born after abortion legalization fall relative to low abortion states. Legalized abortion appears to account for as much as 50 percent of the recent drop in crime."[3] |
Lol, I remember reading about that on "Freakanomics".
Not trying to be racist or prejudice, but how religious are poor black women, and their stance of abortion? Because even if abortion is legalized if they're not willing to not have kids (or more than intended) when they're not in the appropriate economic or circumstantial situation (no dad, for e.g.) then it's meaningless if it's legal.
