This Day in Policy

We're introducing a new feature to the blog: "This Day in Policy."

Today marks the 35th anniversary of Roe v Wade.

Steven Levitt (of Freakonomics fame) and John Donohue have conducted research demonstrating that the legalization of abortion in the 1970s reduced crime rates in the 1990s. Read about that and more here.

PPOL students and faculty-- Have any of you conducted research on reproductive rights? Tell us about it in the comments!
