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.
It only shoots anti-rationale along with anti-choice down. Abortions were never counted for crime statistics, no matter how much women haters wished.
