May years ago, I read something about abortions in Yugoslavia. Initially the government forbade abortions to married couples who had no genetic problems. The children born were followed thru their early years. By pairing up the unwanted children with wanted children, the scientists saw a pattern. Unwanted children did not do as well in school, did not make friends as easily, and tended to get into trouble more frequently. The Yugoslavian government then changed its stance on abortion. As read this before the internet, I have no links.
