One study has been done by an econmist out of the university of chicago. Stephan Levit. He has a book freakanomcis. He found that abotions end up reducing crime. It is a US based study but the gist and logic of it was that the people most likely to have an abortion were poor and single mothers and poor and single mothers children are of a higher likelyhood of being criminals.
I don't support abortion in anyway but this study did show an interesting side benifit and is worth looking into by both sides of the debate
