re: Leslie Jones rant on Alabama’s Abortion Laws On ‘SNL’ Weekend Update

This is from Freakonomics, but if you remove the religious aspect from it, is abortion all that bad?

Two very vocal critics, Steve Sailer and John Lott, have been exerting a lot of energy lately trying to convince the world that the abortion reduces crime hypothesis is not correct. A number of readers have asked me to respond to these criticisms. First, let’s start by reviewing the basic facts that support the Donohue-Levitt hypothesis that legalized abortion in the 1970s explains a substantial part of the crime decline in the 1990s:

1) Five states legalized abortion three years before Roe v. Wade. Crime started falling three years earlier in these states, with property crime (done by younger people) falling before violent crime.

2) After abortion was legalized, the availability of abortions differed dramatically across states. In some states like North Dakota and in parts of the deep South, it was virtually impossible to get an abortion even after Roe v. Wade. If one compares states that had high abortion rates in the mid 1970s to states that had low abortion rates in the mid 1970s, you see the following patterns with crime. For the period from 1973-1988, the two sets of states (high abortion states and low abortion states) have nearly identical crime patterns. Note, that this is a period before the generations exposed to legalized abortion are old enough to do much crime. So this is exactly what the Donohue-Levitt theory predicts. But from the period 1985-1997, when the post Roe cohort is reaching peak crime ages, the high abortion states see a decline in crime of 30% relative to the low abortion states. Our original data ended in 1997. If one updated the study, the results would be similar.)

3) All of the decline in crime from 1985-1997 experienced by high abortion states relative to low abortion states is concentrated among the age groups born after Roe v. Wade. For people born before abortion legalization, there is no difference in the crime patterns for high abortion and low abortion states, just as the Donohue-Levitt theory predicts.

4) When we compare arrest rates of people born in the same state, just before and just after abortion legalization, we once again see the identical pattern of lower arrest rates for those born after legalization than before.

5) The evidence from Canada, Australia, and Romania also support the hypothesis that abortion reduces crime.

6) Studies have shown a reduction in infanticide, teen age drug use, and teen age childbearing consistent with the theory that abortion will reduce other social ills similar to crime. These six points all support the hypothesis. There is one fact that, without more careful analysis, argues against the Donohue-Levitt story:

7) The homicide rate of young males (especially young Black males) temporarily skyrocketed in the late 1980s, especially in urban centers like Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, DC, before returning to regular levels soon thereafter. These young males who were hitting their peak crime years were born right around the time abortion was legalized.

huh?

Democrats have always favored giving personhood to some and not to others based on convenience. Whether it be slavery or killing the unborn. They decide your fate according to their needs. Look no further than Dred Scott and Roe vs Wade.

I am pro choice, but can see the point of the law. If these people are so outraged, then donate their own money to help fight the extreme poverty in the black belt region.

Actually she did. That must not be the whole video.

Chris, for fricks sake....I posted the entire video of HER rant, HER segment....stop derailing this thread and trying to make it about you

Just move out of Alabama if you love abortions that much

That bitch is so ugly you could press her face into dough and make monster cookies, and she’s mocking how other people look? The ONLY reason that big boogish bitch is on SNL is that the SJWs complained and she checked off victim boxes. She’s as unfunny as a leukemia ward and has ONE character, a loud, obnoxious cünt. So no, she’s fair game.

As a comedian she is okay, ive seen worse.. But you have to remember, she is a comedian first. Sometimes being ironic is part of her whole act.

While SNL does lean a little more to the left, they do make jokes about both sides. Like I said, I record it so that I can watch the news updates because I think Michael Shea is pretty funny..

This is a segment of black jeopardy with Tom Hanks. What agenda are they pushing here?

You posted most of it.. Like I said, if you watch the whole news update segment it gives better context.

I like when the two dudes write jokes for each other and Shea writes the MLK joke for the other dude that's something like "people are saying MLK killed himself. To be fair he wouldn't shut up"..
