Abortion and Crime

My research getting a little attention:

Nor have we seen any positive impact on crime in general because of abortion. Interestingly, "progressive" states that legalized abortion prior to Roe v. Wade experienced consistently higher homicide rates nearly every year between 1976 and 1998, according to Yale University law professor John Lott and Australian economist John Whitley. Lott and Whitley found that legalizing abortion actually increased state murder rates by up to 7 percent. It seems that the plan to reduce crime by eliminating the potential perpetrators floundered, too. . . .
