It seems disingenuous to start off a comment admitting that something is a complex subject and then doing a long-winded vaguebook-style one-sided criticism; it's not convincing at all.
Crime will be going up regardless of any statistical effect abortion had because of the far greater impacts of climate change and the ensuing impoverishment of the population.
