How many black babies have you killed?
She gets credit for black crime dropping. Statistics proving this are in the book, referred to here.

Steven Levitt of the University of Chicago and John Donohue of Yale University revived discussion of this claim with their 2001 paper "The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime".<a href="Legalized abortion and crime effect - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a> Donohue and Levitt point to the fact that males aged 18 to 24 are most likely to commit crimes. Data indicates that crime in the United States started to decline in 1992. Donohue and Levitt suggest that the absence of unwanted children, following legalization in 1973, led to a reduction in crime 18 years later, starting in 1992 and dropping sharply in 1995. These would have been the peak crime-committing years of the unborn children.<a href="Legalized abortion and crime effect - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>8<span>]</span></a><a href="Legalized abortion and crime effect - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>9<span>]</span></a>

According to Donohue and Levitt, states that had legalized abortion before Roe v. Wade (Alaska, California, Hawaii, New York, Oregon, and Washington), also had earlier reductions in crime. Further, states with a high abortion rate experienced a greater reduction in crime, when corrected for factors like average income.<a href="Legalized abortion and crime effect - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>10<span>]</span></a> Finally, studies in Canada and Australia claim[<em><a href="Wikipedia:Please clarify - Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon.
