All this talks of abortion reminds me of a very interesting book 'Freakonomics'. In Chapter 4, Nicolae Ceausescu, the dicator of Romania, made abortion illegal in 1966 so he could boost Romania's population. He was a brute to his citizens but gave government positions to his relatives and his wife. The country's birthrate did doubled but the children born after 1966 weren't a happy lot. Those children did worse in everything like school and job and they tend to be criminals. Ceausescu, along with his wife, died by a firing squad after the massacre in Timisoara.
Now in USA, The crime rate had risen 80 percent in 1974 - 1989 but dropped in early 90's. One of the few reasons for this is Roe vs. Wade when the abortion became legal in 1973. It is an interesting theory that legalized abortion led to lesser crime.
I agree that women should use better birth controls and men should be involved in birth controls like condoms.
Mm.. If it's true, that's NOT means we should to encourage females to abort because of recuding crimes.
I believe that somethign else can prevent frelizebse (sp) instead having an abortion. They should to focus on frelizbse and conplamion (sp) (sorry, i suck at words..) which is BIG prevention.
For an explain, if a kind of birth control have a risk of infection, bleeding, or any kind of hazard things, then it should to change it to improve the birth control. I think it would help to reduce numbers of abortions and adoptions if they use a 99% safety B.C.
Just thought. What do you think?
