I'm pro choice and if it slows it down it's a side benefit. Are you saying we should maybe require welfare mothers to have abortions to help reduce crime ?

A better question.... the mileage we drive and gas usage is down in the US. Is this a result of abortion and all those unborn kids not driving ?

That would be a separate question. I'm specifically asking about crime rates.

ahhh, answering a question with a question. I was trying to get a better handle on just what you were asking. the question to me is very broad and a yes or no answer wouldn't work. seems there could be a number of reasons why the crime rate would drop. I am sure there have been abortions had they gone to term, statistically some would have been criminal. I think there are other reasons as well

If it was do you think the increase in criminals we put in prison might have something to do with lower crime ?

If so, will early release due to limited funds cause crime to go back up ?

It's declined since the early 90s. Please refer to links further up the thread.

The answer will be the same. How do you answer a question that has no answer ?

Do you think those aborted could have stopped 9/11 ? Maybe one would have been on the flight who stopped the tragedy.

There is no answer.
