I'm one of the un-aborted (my mom was just 17). She had a very hard life, and I have some minor social issues. However, I think I'm a productive and happy member of society.
That being said, if I hadn't been born, I wouldn't know it, and she would probably have waited and married better, so hmmm. . .
It's not exactly a sentence set in stone, just a persistent correlation between legalized abortion and crime rates (the correlation being that in states with legalized abortion crime rates dropped in a way that then correlates to the lack thereof in states that hadn't legalized abortion - all of this before Roe v Wade - though the correlation persists with regards to the various limits on abortions state by state after Roe v Wade - the possible cause of that correlation is intuitively simple to grasp. There are fewer poverty stricken males to commit crimes when said males have a higher chance of never having been born to their poverty stricken mothers).
