Im very scared crime rates are gonna start skyrocketing in 15-20 years in states that outlawed abortion. Essentially the opposite of the trend that hit in the 90s.
Abortion probably didn't contribute as much to the crime rate falling as you think. It was probably a confluence of factors, chief among them leaded gas being outlawed.
Edit: abortion being outlawed is bad for myriad other reasons, though.
Unwanted children are often poorly raised children. Ask me how I know.
