Maher's cringeworthy reasoning only speaks to the coarsening of the American pro-choice heart.
The internet is abuzz with the latest episode of Bill Maher’s HBO show, Real Time, where the host gave his take on abortion. Maher didn't mince words when calling the heinous act truly what it is: murder.
Speaking to British journalist Piers Morgan and British author Gillian Tett, Maher called out presumptive Republican nominee for president Donald Trump and his recent statement on abortion, saying this:
“None of you believe it’s murder. You know, that’s why I don’t understand the 15-week thing. Or the — Trump’s plan is, ‘Let’s leave it to the states.’ You mean, so killing babies is okay in some states?” he asked.
He added, “Like, I can respect the absolutist position. I really can. I scold the left when they say [pro-lifers] hate women… they don’t hate women… they just made that up. They think [abortion] is murder, and it kind of is. I’m just okay with that. I am. I, I mean, there’s 8 billion people in the world. I’m sorry; we won’t miss you. That’s my position on that.”
His speech led to some long pregnant pauses, some hearing crickets to then abrupt verbiage by both guests who still couldn’t really fathom what Maher had said. Morgan called his words “harsh” and quipped it’s because the HBO host doesn’t like kids. But then Maher doubled down on his own position, challenging Morgan: “You said you’re pro-choice?” Morgan agreed. “That’s your position, too?” And Morgan concurred with a nod.
Morgan could’ve deviated, but he didn’t. He could’ve echoed the same tired arguments the pro-abortion side is always quick to use, or even uttered the language the Biden administration and specifically Vice President Kamala Harris touts: women’s choice or reproductive health.
But Maher’s decision to equate the so-called surgery with murder is just too brutally honest to rebut. Strong words by Pope Francis and the “hiring of a hitman” come to mind since that is how murders typically take place — in the dark recesses where no one sees, save for the victim and the predator. And when we talk about the victim in abortion, this victim is wholly innocent and hasn’t even taken his or her first breath outside the womb.
