Didn't the Freakonomics guys suggest that the drop in crime in the 80s and 90s, after it had been very high, was a result of Roe v. Wade? In other words, few unwanted children resulted in less crime.
I am sure there is a lot more to it BUT there is something to be said for being raised in a good environment (notice I didn't say parenting alone).
