re: Does abortion being legal explain the dramatic drop in violent crime?

Where? Again post statistics. And when did abortion get legalized? Your threads are nothing more than you creating straw man arguments then getting whacked. Suffice it to say, you fail pretty hard here.

Honestly, as ridiculous as OP is, the stats he refers to are well known and should be common knowledge.

Alas, the reason for the drop can almost entirely be attributed to nothing more than age demographics.

Crime is calculated as a rate and, the vast majority of violent crime is committed by males between the ages of 18-35.

That age group has shrunk DRAMATICALLY over the last 40 years while the older age groups have grown.

Thus, basic math at that point.
