There were many intriguing ideas brought up in Freakonomics, but my favorite by far was the idea of abortion saving lives.
Less than forty years after Roe v. Wade, abortion is still a very taboo topic. You can turn on the TV and homosexual relationships on both daytime and evening programs, but Degrassi can't even show its abortion episode.
I chose Freakonomics, curious to know more about this new approach to the declining homicide rate.
I find abortion a very important issue. Although I don't feel it is important enough to properly address with our current economic situation, it needs to be discussed at some point.
Reading this book, I felt very curious and interested in ideas and issues I hadn't really thought about.
