The language matters. The left calls abortion ‘a choice’… the right calls a baby ‘a life’. Until one of those changes, we’ll never agree.
Bill Maher offers a refreshingly honest — if morally horrifying — expression of the real reason he is committed to abortion rights.
He agrees that the baby is a life. He just doesn’t care.
Bill Maher on abortion: "They think it's murder. And it kind of is. And I'm just okay with that. I am. There's 8 billion people in the world. I'm sorry, we won't miss you. That's my position on that."
You could hear a pin drop. Bill is not incorrect, it's just that no leftist is… pic.twitter.com/epnWLNC2u6— Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) April 13, 2024
And before we all get too hasty with our judging fingers… he throws down a gauntlet for the pro-life side that considers itself moderate.
“Like, I can respect the absolutist position. I really can,” he continued. “I scold the left on when they say, ‘Oh, you know what, they just hate women, people who aren’t pro-life. They, the pro-choice, they don’t hate women. They just made that up. They think it’s murder. And it kind of is. I’m just okay with that. I am. I, I mean, there’s eight billion people in the world. I’m sorry, we won’t miss you. That’s my position on that.” — LifeNews
He’s already explained why he doesn’t care about ending a life. He’s a libertine who thinks the planet is too populated as it is.
His question is… why do pro-life moderates defend the right to murder that same life so long as it happens to be below a threshold age.
Rather than throw out any reply to his question, I’m going to let it hang in the air as an example of the kind of important moral question each of us must grapple with in a world where governance is built on consensus between people with radically different ideas and priorities. Such a consensus, necessarily, is built on compromises of varying degree of severity.
Where we draw the line of acceptability, and where we acknowledge some realities can only be achieved by incremental increases, is a hard truth we each must wrestle with, issue by issue.
John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic
