- yters 8y agoMy point for the downvoters is that if something like abortion is inherently a crime, and legalizing it greatly increases the incidence of abortions, then it is false to claim the legalization of abortion reduces crime. For example, a large number of people (Catholics) consider abortion to be murder. If true, then the legalization of abortion has caused our murder rates to sky rocket.
