Again the birth rates counter your claim. There was “more kids in the streets” when abortion was legal. One year of “abortion congruence” that quickly evaporated does not mean a scientific trend
Birth and death rate in Romania from 1950 to 2050. Decree 770 was signed by Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1967. The birthrate surged in 1967 and returned to its previous trend as people found ways to circumvent the decree.
This quote doesn't even have numbers in it besides years. You'll have to forgive me if I'm not convinced.
I'm gonna still bet that 40% unemployment rate for all those kids might be a problem. I'm willing to accept that I'm remembering something from a Romanian documentary (in Romanian), but I don't really get that from your quote.
I think you're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm not saying that a lack of abortion led to joblessness. I'm saying that the baby boom of pregnancies caused a sudden increase in the population that the communist system never coped with, and caused the government to destabalize.
I don't see anything that refutes my point. Births may have declined after the spike, but the spike still means a whole swath of kids.
I've heard that allegation, but I'm not convinced that abortion didn't have an effect.
Yeah, and the reason those kids were there in the street is because the state didn't abort them.

There’s nothing in those birth rates that show an increase in joblessness that wouldn’t occur naturally in that time frame
