I recall the time Hitch made the same argument. “Hitch flips of Maher’s morons” Hitch, while making the observation in a particular instance was very often a slave to the laughter of the audience.

The NHS information on abortion that comes up with this video says 'an abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy'. I don't know about the people who wrote this, but my pregnancies ended when I went into labour. Sometimes a procedure is needed, like a C section, or drugs to induce birth - a friend walked up and down a steep hill and eat tons of curry ... but abortion is not on this list. It's a procedure to terminate the life of the fetus. The pregnancy ends simultaneously or shortly after.

That was a mic drop segment...good stuff my friend

This is so clear! A very valuable contribution. Thank you and God bless you!

Well, the primary job of a comedian is to get people to laugh. And you can get truth across in a comedic way, but sometimes to do that, you have to compromise somewhere by sneaking a truth wrapped in a false assumption (or assumptions). Louis C.K. and Bill Burr have a lot of good examples of this, where they're engaged, almost, in "tricking" people into recognizing a truth in a small way, by putting it in the language or context of other shared beliefs to make it easier, safer, to acknowledge its truth. Sort of like giving medicine or shots to a kid by promising a lollipop. "See? It's not so bad!"

Great video. Thanks! The cake analogy used by the second comedian made such a simple but powerful statement - ditto the fourth comedian and his use of the choice argument. And how ironic that in the NHS context statement (that's been added under the video) abortion is defined euphemistically as 'a procedure to end a pregnancy'. It should really be followed by a definition of what a pregnancy is. The NHS website is happy elsewhere to have headings such as 'You and your baby at 4 weeks pregnant'. But I do praise God for the Christian organisations that reach out with compassion to pick up the pieces afterwards, offering grace.

Of course the healthy delivery of a baby also terminates a pregnancy. An abortion, on the other hand, terminates a /baby/

Context badge to me, always mean we are in for a good video

OMG Bill Burr joke was hilarious though

1)Yes, using humor on a major issue can plant a seed. 2) Glen uses the Chrisitan perspective on when life begins. On a survey, people did not know when life began, but thought biologists would know. On a survey of over 1,000 institutions and over 5,000 biologists, 96% said life begins at conception. 3) “Life Not Worthy of Life,” was a book title by a lawyer and doctor, the elite of society, prior to the third Reich. 4) (not confirmed) President Macron of France recently gave a speech when abortion rights were added to the French Constitution. In the speech, he also told the people to expect legislation on euthanasia within three months. I suppose looking for more people to murder. 5) In almost all abortions, you do murder the baby, and then you expel it. The baby does not die passively from expulsion, the baby is proactively killed, and then expelled. Power allows choice.

Did you know your video has a mandatory NHS info panel precede it?

And it states (from the NHS website no less) that 'abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy'. Again we see the reality of what an abortion is obscured, because it is deemed too shocking to say plainly.

3:40 its not "trumps plan" it is the u.s. constitution.

Years ago I spoke with a Christian (!) who admitted that she thought abortion was murder, but that she was okay with that.

Your editing makes me nervous, but otherwise a good video.

2:50 it won't revolve around abortion ... "it is the economy ... stupid."

Chappelle is genius.

It’s sad that they think murder is an answer to the (perceived) problem of overpopulation. But it’s not surprising. Before abortion we had straight up infanticide, where people would throw unwanted children down a ravine or leave them in the woods to die. And many cultures were okay with it then too. Humans have always been this evil. It’s heartbreaking but true. Hopefully, those of us who are not okay with it can help them see how cruel these practices are.

I found it interesting that Maher couldn't even say it fully. He said "It kind of is". Kind of.

Not KINDA! It is still Murder

Louis CK is one of the greats. I hope the grownups in the room let him in again.

If the stand up comedians just admitted that they actually committed murder, but in a funny way, the same audience would be laughing and applauding. The audience are deplorable lemmings

👍🏻

All due respect, I don't think I need a Christian to explain comedy to me. But good video.

The cortex turns on at about 12 weeks, which means the baby becomes conscious. If it wasn't a human before then, it's definitely a human when it becomes conscious....

I tend to say first/second, but not an issue. One of those whiny things that I tend to brush away as: "What are you complaining about if you knew what he meant?" Interesting how Atheist Liberals who dislike Donald Trump still waffle on about that. Probably a vain attempt to schism Christians from Trump. The same with saying Trump is not a Christian for not preferring the New Testament. The last time I checked, I thought we were supposed to take the Bible as a whole. I could also say a lot about Trump, but "one Corinthians" etc is something I would not bother with. Some people would complain about Trump whatever the circumstance.

You know you're taking what some comedians are saying to be rhetorical to speak about a really complicated issue and make it overly simplistic and get the audience to squirm in their seats. Abortion doesn't have anything to do with overpopulation and that is a complete misunderstanding of the issue. It has more to do with the mother there are two lives in this issue and that's what complicates it has nothing to do with overpopulation it has to do with the mother's health and the baby's health and the ability for society and family to care for the baby. I am Jewish and that is essentially a several 1000 year old view on abortion from Judaism and other faiths. In fact the only thing that doesn't make this equal to murder is the fact that you have to rule in all the other factors all the other people involved in caring for the baby. Listen it takes a village! I studied anthropology and it is quite understandable thing when you have a tribe that is in the middle of a harsh environment and they realize suddenly they had twins they will kill one of the twins because they know they can't feed the weaker twin. Rather than making the the weaker baby starve to death or to under feed both babies they kill one. It's called infanticide I don't know if I can judge those people. I think that they realize that they're being more cruel if they undefeated both babies. Sure there are many situations where we kill people for instance when a soldier kills an enemy or when you kill someone in self-defense. These situations are killing but they're not considered murder! So I have a question it's saying I support the troops is equal to saying I I support murderers no! That's not the same. Yeah you know what that tactic is cold and rhetorical strategy it's called a false equivalency. It's an argument by fallacy I need is a fallacious argument I don't know how many other ways I can say this but it's not a good argument. Comedians and other people good points sometimes that's just not a good logical argument. Now Bill Burr has a better argument than Bill Maher. He is talking about the pro-choice argument of One Life begins, when a bit when a fetus becomes a baby. You know I mean in a morgue if someone dies by drowning or if a baby dies and it's outside the mother's womb the way that they determine whether the baby had been born yet is whether they can tell if the baby has breathed air. And yes they can tell that in a morgue. Big and tall weather a birthed baby murdered or if the baby was dead in the womb or ot case it could have been a stillborn death. Again in the Jewish kind of viewpoint on abortion and when life begins it is considered when a baby breathes air with it's lungs outside of the mother. When lung function stopped is also a way to tell when how anyone has died. Know this is kind of a very Jewish thing where they emphasize the breath of life because the breath of Life is called ruach. It is like a type of soul a basic soul of life that you know God breathed into Adam end breathe into all of us. Ruach of the Life force which also means wind in Hebrew. Now in the Jewish I guess canonical law which is considered a chalachah. This is when life begins. It's when we start to breathe and we end breathing. That is when life begins and life ends. So you know there is quite a bit of hair splitting on when life begins and ends and there is also some hair splitting on what constitutes murder or I don't know what it is that soldiers do. I mean in the end sometimes you have to protect people from other people it is a self-defense measure. And that is another thing that Judaism talks about and basically the the language is that the baby is the pursuer of the mother's life. Essentially at a certain point the baby can kill the mother and if it is seen as such then they have to make a decision between one life and the other life. The mother's life takes precedent over the babies life, potentially. Anything but it offsets it. For instance we've been talking about the difference between murder and killing. But our laws also make a difference between murder and killing and murder with intention and murder accidental murder negligent murder all kinds of different murder. You know I had a classmate in fourth grade and I know where until we graduated from high school. She made a stupid reckless decision one night with her cousin in the car and she accidentally killed her cousin with her reckless driving. She got convicted for vehicular manslaughter or something like that you know one of those hair splitting murder judgments and then while under house arrest she studied and eventually became a doctor of neurodegenerative diseases. She has kids now she's married she's a very fulfilling life. This is all made possible by the fact that it was obvious that she didn't intend to kill her cousin and she probably killed herself in this recklessness. My point is that our society and all kinds of societies judge killing and murder in different ways for all kinds of different reasons. I mean the example that I gave earlier about some kind of primitive culture killing the weaker twin so that they could better feed the other stronger twin, and it's not like they're the Khmer Rouge or anything. They're obviously looking out for the interests of the next generation in the stronger twin I'm trying to provide best for the strongest most viable one. Being one of triplets and being the runt of the litter! I mean without modernism you know intervention I probably would have died in childbirth. I had to wait about 10 or 15 minutes to breathe they had to incubate me for 2 weeks for me to survive. I see that as me surviving because our society could sustain it my parents could afford having 4 kids in 2 years. We had a year and a half hold brother already in the picture. So my parents weren't wealthy at the time but they had a good situation for prospectively getting better and better at providing for this instantly much larger family.

I don't have any respect of men calling abortion murder. It's easy for you to say. It's not happening in YOUR body. It's women who has to decide. And no women have an abortion unless there is very serious reasons behind it.

What about women who call abortion murder? Do you respect them? If not murder, what do you call this intentional ending of a human life? Why would ending a human life inside the womb be ok but not outside the womb? What serious reasons are there for ending the life of an unborn child? Are there any serious reasons for ending the life of a child that has been born?

This is so manipulating. Of course not everything is progressing and becoming better. But of course the Victorian times were not necessarily good, either. The men who went to prostitutes and gave VD to their wives (and to other prostitutes) and who did not have to go to prostitutes were not punished while the prostitutes - who had little career choice - were. Is that something to look back on with nostalgia? Women who were expected to be mothers - only - and did not have the right to deny their husbands sex, is that something to look back on with nostalgia? Both the present and the past (and I expect the future will too) have advantages and disadvantages. I agree that the present times have been captured by mass psychosis, such as the trans avalanche, but I bet there were mass psychoses in Victorian times, too. Except that these might only warrant a footnote in the history books because they were, on the whole, irrelevant. I prefer contraception to abortion, but I prefer abortion to unwanted children. I know several people (my mother among them) who have had very late misscarriages. Some of the late miscarriages are due to anomalies that are incompatible with life. I despise those who would deny the mothers an abortion in these cases. Not to mention all the miscarriages that happen in the first trimester. I also know people who have had to have abortions to save themselves. One of them, who almost died from hyperemesis, quite luckily carried a foetus that would not have survived on its own, which made her decision much easier. But whose life would you like to try to save in these cases?

I think Glen did mention the people speaking the clips are comedians. I did not realise only philosophers and/or scientists were the only people permitted to speak: 'If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away (1 Corinthians 13:1-10).

Thought provoking jokes, nevertheless. Them being comedians doesn't delegitimize what they are saying. Dave Chappelle's joke particularly pointed out the inconsistent positions people can hold. Women get to choose to kill a life inside of them, because it's going to get in the way of them living their best life, but a man can't abandon a child even though it's going to massively inconvenience his?
