90. The book didn't mention race as a factor, as far as I can recall.

And of course the free market, like fire, burns and destroys if left uncontrolled.

I don't know what abortion rates are among the different races, nor how they changed over time. I figured that, since an awful lot of violent crime comes from poverty-stricken areas of cities, it probably had something to do with income levels and the kind of education and job opportunity associated with it, and of course THAT leads indirectly to race.

But if it is true that if legal abortions mean that more black women per capita get abortions than white women, isn't this just something we have to live with?

There are a couple of threads running around GD about women aborting fetuses because of the gender, and the impact this may have on society, and is this a "good" thing.

But what is the alternative?


If we accept the premise that people in difficult economic and living conditions are more likely to limit the size of their families, then we have to accept the premise that the rate among non-whites will be higher than among whites, yes?
