On another note, some paper or another (of the majors... I think it was the NYT) this weekend had an opinion column about the "abortion reduced crime" thing. The writer was writing about a recent "debate" or something like it between the abortion-theory guy and one of the guys from the U of C... maybe even the one who argued that "concealed carry reduces crime". Anyway, according to the author, the consensus after the presentation is that the "abortion reduces crime" guy presents a pretty compelling case.
Even noting that New York legalized abortion 3 years before the rest of the country, and New York's drastic crime deduction started (arguably, of course) 3 years before the rest of the country.
Couldn't find the link. My apologies.
But this brings up another thought. I've heard in India or China, people are aborting girls waaaay disproportionately. I'd imagine here, people are aborting fetuses who are likely to be handicapped or ill etc. But I can't prove it. Anyone ever hear of any theories as to whether the incidence of Down's Syndrome kids or whatever is lower since 1973 or thereabouts... as a result of abortion? Couldn't help but wonder.

1) Anyone that is stupid enough to argue that abortion reduces crime (and therefore is a good thing) should be sterilized themselves. In all seriousness, this type of argument just bolsters the pro-life position. In China, I am sure that if they have access to the technology they would abort female fetuses. However, I do know that with the one child only policy, many families are killing their female babies so they can try again and get a male.
2) That is encouraging about texas. The fact that drug crimes are put in the same catagory as violent and sexual offences is "criminal". Most drug offenders need rehab not prison.
