Are you reading Freakonomics, baw? That book by Gladwell has a chapter on it.

I think it was coincidence, not causation. And crime is up in recent years, was abortion down 20 years ago?

He’s arguing a negative because it can’t be proven one way or the other.

You could say if abortions had been illegal, that crime would have been reduced by over 80%.

I could also say that crime has fallen in Colorado because I drive much less than I used to
