Many people use statistics for manipulation. However, few use them to help explain societal problems. I cite Freakonomics in the chapter about abortion. The data in the book is cited from U.S. Government statistics Pre-Roe v. Wade. What I try to do is correlate the data from Freakonomics to the theme of decency. We only hear one argument in today's modern media. Abortion is debated on emotions created by the reality presented by conservative Christian thought. We never ask why a woman would chooses an abortion. We instead worry about the restriction of rights of the woman to choose based on religious dogma.
