Abortion a Crme and the Cause of Crime By Dr. N. S. Clymer. Published by the author, 21 S. Seventh St., Philadelphia, Pa.

A little tract of eight pages wherein the author claims that abortion is the cause of all crime, and demands a law to make it punishable by death. It is decidedly weak and shallow. The claim remains entirely a priori, the few cases cited being insufficient to prove a hypothesis. The remedy is unworthy of a Liberal, but belongs rather to the Catholic ages. Socially it is devoid of insight. Every man of average intelligence knows that stiff penalties prevent nothing; and no woman ever finds abortion a pleasant experience. We have too many laws already. And to demand the death penalty for anything, is the province of a savage—not a refined man.
