Title: Fundamentally flawed
Product review: The 2003 assertion --regurgitated in this new book -- that Roe vs. Wade is behind a drop in *violent* crime. The real reason violent crime dropped is because the overall prison population DOUBLED since Reagan. Largely do to the "war on drugs" taking even minor offenders off the streets. And also due to Rudy Giuliani-esque crackdown on the "broken window" syndrome of no tolerance for early crimes, before they fester into more serious crimes.So, just those two or three facts above altogether explain the REAL drop in violent crimes.Roe vs Wade has not reduced the birthrates of poverty-stricken kids. The pseudo-progressive unGreat Society safety net programs instead enabled more poverty, more single mothers, and more poor kids -- but not necessarily more violence. Just look at the statistics, or look out your windows.
