Last night, Fox's Family Guy made a crude joke about rape and abortion in an episode that was otherwise focused on corruption in China.
In the episode "China Doll," Stewie and Brian (Seth MacFarlane) travel to China after Stewie sees a "Made in China" tag on his stuffed animal, Rupert.
Due to a misunderstanding, Brian and Stewie end up in a Chinese forced labor camp that is creating solar panels.
While there, Stewie criticizes liberals for supporting the use of solar panels manufactured in China. In response, Brian insults conservatives for overturning Roe v. Wade.
Stewie: Twenty years in a labor camp for spying on China. What a mess.
Brian: "Hire Sidney Powell," he said.
Stewie: It's the only place she's still licensed.
Prison Guard: Break's over. Get back to work making solar panels for American liberals.
Brian: Didn't realize all our solar panels are made by Chinese political prisoners.
Stewie: Yes. White liberals have a lot to answer for.
Brian: [Chuckles] Well, I'd say conservatives do as well, especially in a post Roe V. Wade world.
Woman: Oh my gosh, I finally get to see this little guy. [Gasps] He's adorable. He looks just like your rapist.
Rapist: I think he looks like both of us.
Woman: He's a cutie. He's gonna be a little lady killer.
Rapist: Well, we'll see. I don't want to put any pressure on him.
While abortions due to rape are less than one percent of abortions in the U.S. overall, a child conceived in rape is still a human being worthy of life and not a reflection of a father's evil. The "joke" was twisted.
Family Guy has pushed pro-abortion propaganda many times throughout its long history on television and has also made rape jokes in the past. An abortion episode that creator Seth MacFarlane wrote in 2009 was so dark and macabre that Fox refused to air it at the time.
MacFarlane's abortion jokes were not funny then, and they are still unfunny now.
That show has always been indecent.
