The Washington Times: Bill Maher says the silent part out loud: Abortion is murder

Quote:Sometimes you hear something so shocking that it stops you in your tracks. Without a doubt, that was me this week. I just so happened to click on a video clip of comedian and TV personality Bill Maher’s HBO talk show. On the latest episode, he discussed abortion in America, alongside his celebrity panel. Mr. Maher started fair by sharing that he always admonishes his pro-abortion friends from calling pro-lifers “women-haters” because — in his words — it’s simply not true. He states that pro-lifers don’t hate women, so much as they believe abortion to be murder. I was surprised to hear that astute comment from him. But I should’ve braced myself, because then his comments took a nosedive straight off a cliff into a pit of eugenics abortion reasoning that even the late Margaret Sanger would’ve given a standing ovation. Mr. Maher said, “They [pro-lifers] think it’s murder and it kind of is. I’m just OK with that. I am. I mean there’s 8 billion people in the world. I’m sorry. We won’t miss you. That’s my position on that.” Cue the pin dropping. The show’s audience went uncomfortably silent and even his two abortion-supporting guests were stunned. I have to say, it was really something to see that Mr. Maher was even able to put his guest Piers Morgan at a loss for words. After the fact, the backlash to Mr. Maher’s comments was predictable along ideological lines. Pro-lifers shared his abhorrent comments on X, pointing out how he really “said the quiet part out loud.” Those in the abortion-favoring camp either decided to encourage Mr. Maher to shut up, or they just ignored his comments completely — the old “maybe if we don’t share it on social media, it never really happened” tactic. But Mr. Maher’s comments really had me do a double take. I really had to ask myself, what was the most shocking part of them? Was it his rationale? No. I know the origins of abortion reasoning in America, and this is it. Was it that he called abortion murder? No. I know that abortion ends human life either through drugs or surgery. That is literally its definition: “the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy.” I realized that the most shocking part of Mr. Maher’s comments on abortion is that we almost never hear anyone else put it so candidly.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Even if you don't share my view that these were deaths, the fact is that there were 626,000 instances in 2021 where an eventual life of individual potential became suddenly, unceremoniously, uneventual.

They want impoverished ignorant serfs who don't think they should have anything than yhe opportunity to work like dogs for a meager existance. So they make having kids as unnecessary and unrewarding (financially, emotionally etc) as possible. Get real, willya?
Quote:And that whole exponential of "possibilities "? Easy to see you're real concerned about hypotheticals but willing to dispose of actual people. They must not be real people to you. Certainly less real than your imaginings.

SIX: Meanwhile, a starving African kid with flies swarming around his distended belly has 12 brothers and sisters without a pot to piss in and any of the ones that live long enough are all going to have another 12 kids each.

So your response to poor people is to kill them as punishment for being poor?

Quote:Oh, BTW...African women don't CHOOSE to crank out child after child. If they had birth control, a modicum of education, and access to medical care including abortion, they'd limit their family size too.
