I have a question to all those of the anti-life.

Supposedly, abortion rates were the SAME whether or not they were legal. That was one of the justifications for it, that women are going to get abortions and that by keeping them illegal, abortions were unsafe.

So, if abortion rates where the same, wouldn't crime rates be the same also? This is why I think, anti-life people ought to get rid of Levitt's theory because it shoots the theory that "abortion rates were the same, just unsafe before legalization" in the foot.
