Has anyone done an analysis of abortion's effect on illegal immigration? I'm guessing that # of abortions since Roe v. Wade who would now be working adults + their adult children - all the jobs shipped overseas - average # of unemployed - # of legal immigrant workers = # of illegal immigrants

The analysis of abortion and the crime rate was subject to a lot of criticism for bad methodology and I think it has been retracted. I doubt your guess is true. If their were more people they would require more goods and services, so they would create as many jobs as they would take. That is why the economy expanded to provide the jobs needed as the the population doubled over the last 50 years.

I've read it. What's sad is that people need to "justify" abortions with imaginary happenings, like a lowering crime rate, etc.
the United States is the laughingstock of the world because of how prudish and oppressive our leaders are when it comes to a woman making her own medical decisions. It's sad.
