There was a guy on the Daily Show a month or so back that was making a claim like this, too, based solely on statistics. The theory was based on the fact that, in places where abortion had been legalized, there had been fewer children born, and there had been less crime in those places in a couple of decades afterwards, the implication drawn that fewer unwanted children meant a drop in crime. Of course, statistics don't ever tell the whole picture.
True. If it doesn't take into account the laws on the books as well as the punishments for them, education reform (if any), and several other factors, it's just making numbers mean what you want. I need more than just a paragraph to convince me.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
