62 million abortions since Roe v. Wade. Some people look at this number and think of the Holocaust. I look at that number and think about how I cannot imagine the social problems that would have been created by tens of millions of unwanted children existing in this country.

You hit the nail on the head!

Violent crime would be a million times worse if it had not been for those abortions.

Family planning and -- if necessary -- abortion should be taught starting in the later elementary school grades.

I agree with family planning as well as adding personal responsibility. It's really not that difficult to keep from getting pregnant.

This topic is also covered in freakanomics.

Very interesting data that supports your contention.
