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…
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, our movement was given a historic opportunity. But the battle for life became much more difficult.
