Or thanks to the end of leaded gasoline, or the advent of legalized abortion, or some combination of the three, or none of this. The only evidence in this article is one serial killer they maybe tracked down after 25 years of searching.

Why would legalized abortion reduce the rate of serial killers?

With more economic strength comes better child rearing environments. Fewer children means greater economic strength. Greater economic strength leads to less stress. Less stress means better childrearing. Abortion is an unmitigated good for most women who choose it.

> Fewer children means greater economic strength.

I don't think you understand the utility of having children. Neoliberals love this position because it effectively supports importing as many immigrants as possible for megacorps to pay bottom dollar to. There's an entire industry (industrial farming) that loves this.

> Less stress means better childrearing.

The context of this statement is not supported by the unmitigated economic disaster we are currently in, and have been in, since at least the great financial crisis.

> Abortion is an unmitigated good for most women who choose it.

Have you ever wondered why you can almost predict the location of abortion clinics by the number of pawn shops and pay day loan centers? When you break down those locations by race it may become more clear. Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist and racist [0][1] who wished abortion to be used to clean out the mental defectives. Her own words: “the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective,” [0]. What's funny is I could've swapped her name out with any 19th and 20th century dictator and you'd believe me.

It would be wonderful if activists stopped hiding behind the banner of freedom and acknowledge the roots of their alleged "unmitigated good".
