Freakonomics
More abortion in early 1970s - Present ( due to the Roe vs Wade U.S Court ruling)
The effect was that it dropped crime rate. The book says,” One study has shown that the typical child who went unborn in the earliest years of legalized abortion would have been 50% more likely than average to live in poverty, he would have one parent. These two factors- childhood poverty and a single-parent household-are among the strongest predictors that a child will have a criminal future.” (Pg. 138-139) What this means was that thanks to the legalizing of abortion, women with a low class status would be able to stop criminal rates without even knowing that they contributed to the problem.
