What do you guys think of this? I'm reading a really good book, "Freakonomics" by a "rogue economist" who explores the hidden side of things by interperating mountains of data using the techniques of economics.

According to him, the main cause for the sudden large crime drop in the mid to late 90's was caused by legalized abortion 2 decades earlier in Roe v. Wade. It was at this time when, had the unwanted children been born from the first waves of legalized abortion, that they would have reached the age where they are most likely to commit crime.

You have less unwed teenage mothers having children, and you have less poor poeple who can't afford children having children.

Statistically these two groups produce children who are more prone to violent and regular crime. They are also the most likely groups to have abortions.

Since the number of children born to these groups are far less through legalized abortion, to the tune of over 1 million a year, the crime rates have dropped tremendously.

Thoughts?
