Of course - that's completely irrelevant to the issue though.
This is a total side-track to the thread (which is why I didn't pursue it further), but if you search, there are plenty of papers espousing the link between
Roe v. Wade and reduced crime rates.
Freakonomics also made the argument front-and-center. The issue isn't that poor people, or single parents, or any other crime correlates are the ones who have all the abortions - it's that the wide availability of relatively cheap abortions made those groups the largest
increase in abortions, because they lacked any access before.
Less at-risk babies = less at-risk youth = ... and so on. The irony I alluded to earlier is that a good number who are gung-ho "SAVE THE BABIES!" wouldn't step foot in the poor part of town to cash a check and are in favor of denying poor folks health care. Why not just start earlier? [/cynicism]
