20 to 30 deaths is just a quiet weekend in Chicago.

The decline in crime in the last few decades, at least in the US, is tied to Roe vs. Wade. Of course no one will ever touch that.

I dont think there is any reach to say the same people most willing to dispose of their kids are also the most likely to raise criminals. I just doubt any politicians would use that as a reason to keep abortion legal safe and *rare*.

In the other thread, my main argument was with SHARK - who said that the crime statistics were bullshit because he knew from looking at the news that crime was much higher than in the 1990s.

You should go look at who else was posting in that thread, and what they were saying.

According to the Freakonomics crew, yes. But while it's an interesting hypothesis, it's just a hypothesis. Nobody's really sure. Others claim it's due to the rise of broken window policing, which I'm skeptical about.
