I wonder if she has had an abortion herself. If you has, I would guess that her “act” is a matter of self-rationalization, or an attempt to salve a guilty conscience.
If she hasn’t had one herself, then she speaks from ignorance of the guilty conscience that mothers who abort their children have. Have you ever heard a woman rejoicing in the fact of her abortion? Maybe in the (very) short run, but never in the long run.
Please note that I do not speak from experience, but merely from intuitive insight. There are some things that are so obvious that no one can deny. This is one of them.
One of my college room mate’s wife had an abortion (his child) before they were married. I had the honor to go to his children’s weddings 30+ years later and she was still bawling from the one that she aborted. I think that I was one of the few at that wedding that had any idea that she had an abortion so long ago. I also do not speak from experience as you say, but I did observe the pain that existed even after 30 years in a very dear friend. In terms of this ‘comedienne’ and whether she is trying to self rationalize, I only hope so. Bad jokes will not erase the pain, and that is the truth that I spoke of that she will be forced to deal with. She will not be able to run away from herself.
