Comedian Bill Maher recently surprised viewers on HBO’s “Real Time” by admitting that abortion is murder. In an apparent effort to win back the crowd and demonstrate a commitment to radical progressivism, Maher then offered highly anti-human reasons why this particular type of killing should be allowed. .
Mr Maher spoke on Friday to British columnist Gillian Tett and journalist Piers Morgan about the medical slaughter of unborn children. Morgan emphasized that “America is not much of an outlier” in terms of the majority’s resistance to legalizing abortion without testing.
“There are many countries in Europe where abortion is completely illegal, places like Poland, Malta and Andorra,” Morgan said. “And if you look at countries like Germany and France, the legal period for illegal abortions can be 10, 12 weeks. So the U.S. is not that much of an outlier.”
“I think a lot of Americans on the left think that this is somehow a very uniquely American issue, or an issue that only concerns them in terms of the legality of abortion. In fact, compared to Europe, There’s not that much of a difference,” he added. British.
Tett said, “This idea… [Americans] It seems completely strange that we are fighting an election over this issue. Let’s go back to the 19th century. ”
“No one believes this is a murder,” Maher said. “That’s why I don’t understand 15 weeks or Trump’s plan.” [to] Leave that to the states. Does that mean it’s OK to kill babies in some states? ”
Mr. Maher was clearly uncomfortable with Mr. Trump’s proposed solution.
Last week, former President Donald Trump suggested: video statement Following the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Dobbs reversal of decision Roe vs. Wade“The abortion that everyone wanted from a legal standpoint is happening.”
The Republican front-runner also hinted that he would violate national abortion laws, a threat that could hurt his success in November, and that the best way forward is for individual states to “vote or legislate. Or both.” They decided it had to be the law of the land. ”
“I can respect the absolutist position, I really can,” Maher continued. “I scold the left when they say, ‘Oh, you know what? They just hate women. Those who don’t… are pro-choice.'”
Maher emphasized that pro-life activists “do not hate women.” [Leftists] I just made it up. They think it’s murder, but it is. ”
The room fell silent as the comedian realized that abortion involves taking the life of an innocent human being.
While his audience may not have been accustomed to such striking confessions, Mr. Maher’s admission is hardly new among his peers.
In a 2017 Netflix comedy special, Louis C.K. Said“People hate abortion protesters. “They’re so shrill and awful.” But they think babies are being murdered. ”
CK quipped, “But I don’t think it’s killing the baby. I mean, it’s a little bit like killing a baby. It’s 100% killing the baby. It’s completely killing the whole baby.”
After effectively acknowledging that abortion involves abortion, CK adds, “But I think women should be allowed to kill their babies,” adding, “Abortion is the last line of defense against these kinds of despicable people. ” he added, drawing a huge ovation.
Like CK, Maher similarly appealed to eugenicist rhetoric in his brief defense of abortion, implying that abortion amounts to curbing population growth.
Maher pointed out that abortion is “kind of” murder, adding, “I’m fine with that. I am. I mean, there’s 8 billion people in the world. I’m sorry, but we… I won’t miss you. That’s my position.” He said that…if you’re pro-choice, isn’t that your position? ”
Piers Morgan pretended to be surprised by Maher’s remarks, but self-introduction The Catholic, who is a Catholic, told the HBO host that he shares his position.
Maher seems to cite estimated world population as a basis for justifying abortion, but global birth rate figures suggest a dire need for more humans, not a shortage. Probably.
blaze news We recently reported on a new peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet, which found that since 1950, fertility rates have declined in all countries and regions, and that “human civilization is facing the reality of persistently low fertility rates.” It has become clear that the situation is rapidly converging.
A birth rate of 2.1 is required for the population to remain stable and replenish without a large influx of foreigners. According to the study, the global birth rate is expected to fall to 1.59 by the end of this century.
China has aborted nearly 500 million children since 1980 under its one-child policy and is currently in the midst of a population crisis. Like China, which is currently trying desperately to increase its birth rate, the United States and other countries may soon come to miss the people Maher and others are trying to weed out the killers.
Kristan Hawkins, pro-life activist and president of Students for Life of America, said: Said Regarding Maher’s comments: “This is the biggest question about abortion: Do all human beings have equal rights and worth, or do they not? If you are pro-choice, you accept that abortion is murder. At least @billmaher is an honest abortion supporter and isn’t willing to deny science to justify his beliefs.”
Legal scholar Robert P. George is the sixth McCormick Professor of Law and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University. said“Extraordinary candor. Indeed, it is shocking, and certainly chilling, that Bill Maher would admit that abortion is (or ‘kind of’) murder and support it. But he is not a science denier. He intends to face the cruel reality. Abortion is right in front of you…and it’s your decision. ”
Minnesota Congressman Walter Hudson (Republican) similarly expressed He thanked Maher for his willingness to acknowledge a central fact of the abortion debate, saying, “It may be morally abhorrent, but at least it’s morally consistent and allows us to have real conversations.” “We can no longer avoid what we are actually talking about.” Now let’s talk about the 73 million legal murders that occur around the world every year. ”
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) tweeted“‘Don’t say the quiet parts out loud.'”
