Maher: I’m Pro-Choice, But Pro-Lifers Aren’t Sexist, and ‘You Wouldn’t Say’ You Don’t Want to Impose Your Values about Murder
Breitbart ^ | 08/26/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 08/27/2022 7:39:44 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that while he is pro-choice and thinks abortion isn’t murder, it’s wrong to say pro-life people are anti-women, because if you think abortion is murder, you can’t say, “well, except for people with a vagina, they can commit murder.” And pushed back against arguments that pro-life people shouldn’t impose their values by saying, “you wouldn’t say that about a murderer. That’s what their point is.”

Maher said, “I’m more pro-choice than you can imagine. I don’t think life is always precious, most people don’t think that. What I’m saying is, you shouldn’t say to the other side, you people hate women. They don’t hate women. They just think it’s murder. And if you think it’s murder, then you can’t go, well, except for people with a vagina, they can commit murder. I don’t think it’s murder, but they legitimately do.”

‘Spend some time around two-year-olds and get back to us.’

In the real world two-year-olds exhibit intrinsic human behavior. BTW, where do you think Western Civilization received its social contract details?

People think they are wise beyond all those who came before, without realizing they derive their concepts from those who came before, that they are immersed in concepts from those who came before.

People who think like this can be likened to a teenager, driving the Porsche he got from his parents, yet hating his parents and condemning their work ethic. He is smarter than they, wiser, and revels in his great personal accomplishment of obtaining a luxury car. In his mind he even designed the car himself.

I think his point was more about woke speech he’s not a fan of it.

It’s a covenant, not a contract.

Theism may not be necessary to a good and moral life, but it is absolutely necessary for an eternal one.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matt 11:28

Yes...but he's only saying that now that the tide has turned a bit on wokism, and the GOP is no longer in power.

He's playing the contrarian when it is safe.
