from the page: "When the crime rate started dropping in the 1990s, it took everyone by surprise. All the experts had predicted that crime would continue to rise in the radical way it had during the 1970s and 1980s... And then ... It didn't happen. Instead, crime rates started to fall. All kinds of crime, across the board. And not just in one place, in many places. Why Did Crime Rates Fall? ...All kinds of theories were advanced, but they all fell apart against statistical realities -- none of them explained why crime rates fell at exactly the time they began to fall. Except for one explanation. Abortion. Try to set aside your personal opinions about abortion and let's look at history. "
