He makes the point, and it is not a PC one, that the people who are more likely to have abortions are those in lower soci-economic environments. These children, had they been born, were more likely to commit crime.
BTW, I am not attempting to start an abortion debate, just talking about the book, so I will head that wagon off at the pass.

Skimmed through the book. He states it is the more liberal abortion laws that cause less crime, not concealed carry.
I do not disagree that more liberal abortion laws had an effect in reduction of crime, I believe the CCW laws had an effect as well. I do not see how he completely discredits CCW as effective.
Good read over for the most part though.
