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

Yes the expansion of gun rights for law abiding citizens and the movement toward self defense.

That seems like a stretch.

Violent rape is down a staggering amount in the past 25 years or so - that almost certainly has a lot to do with the rise of internet porn. One of the great, believed myths foisted on us by the feminist movement was "rape isn't about sex, it's about power". Truly and utterly preposterous. The marginal would-be rapist now just jerks off in his bedroom and is too spent to have the urge to go outside and harm someone.
