Quote: The Time Trust said: 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.
