Crime started declining after 1991. T
Looks like to me the decline started during 1994, not 1991. 23,440 murders in 1990, but 24,530 in 1993. By 1999 it's at 15,522.
Normally I wouldn't comment on this stuff but this type of thinking is getting people killed. Mass incarceration works. It's one of the few things Bill got right. We need LESS criminals on the street, not MORE. LMAO!
On the flip side, there's quite a bit of evidence to suggest that crime started dropping as a result of abortion becoming more accessible 18 years after Roe v. Wade.
-Nope. Look at crime-rates for 14-15 year-olds. Highest for those born in the years just after abortion legalization.

That's not the argument being being made in regards to Roe v. Wade dropping crime rates.
The crime rates today would've been even higher if there were more impoverished single mothers having to raise even more children without access to abortion. In other words we kept the number of potential future criminals off the streets.
Sounds harsh but it's true.
-There's no real evidence it is. And I'm not some anti-abortion fanatic like ExtremeRepublican or RFayette. Read the post I linked to.
