    These numbers coincide with the legalization and increase of abortion in the US.

    I was became hungry around the same time that today's Benghazi hearing began.

    Coincidence?

    Abortion and contraception have an inverse relationship with crime and violence.

    My hunger for pasta has an inverse relationship with Benghazi committee hearings.

    That would mean you 'was not became hungry.'

    Make up your mind.

    the left and msm will not report it since they are in bed together and have the same agenda. They are the Obama apologists. The ones that don't "understand" the issues they are fighting (which seems like most of them), they label everything a conspiracy theory or it turns into a joke.

    As far as guns and crime.. I believe it.. hell why can the left look at Chicago/NY/DC and all the other left leaning cities which have gun bans and gun free zones with higher murder rates? It is a fact regardless if they believe it or not.

    Of the many stupid things in your post, th fact that your conception of New York City is apparently about 30-40 years out of date is the one I find the most amusing.

    Over here in reality, it's way safer than anyplace you will likely ever live in with a far far lower crime rate.

    You need to quit getting your news from MSM. You sound as brainwashed as the rest of them.

    Hows those flashmobs working out for you?

    Let me guess - you spent a lot of time in Times Square.

    Did you enjoy Bubba Gump? Or Guy's American Kitchen?

    MOAR details please.

    Did Houston or NYC have a higher homicide rate in 2012? Here's a hint- You won't like the answer.
