Interesting short video from a University of Chicago economist. He makes a persuasive case that legalized abortion caused a substantial decrease in crime. Roe V Wade went into law in 1973. Crime started to drop in 1991 as there were fewer unwanted children turning 18. The states that legalized abortion a few years before 1973 saw a reduction in crime starting in the late 80's. Also states with the greatest ease of abortion experienced the greatest drops in crime. Romania banned abortion in the 60's and crime doubled over the next 25 years as the rate of child birth increased.
