Bill Maher admits abortion law facts

HBO’s Bill Maher admitted on "Real Time" that he learned a few things about abortion laws that surprised him after the news of the Supreme Court’s intention to overturn Roe v. Wade broke last week.

“I learned things this week, because this put it on the front page, that are pretty basic things that I did not know about abortion," Maher told guests Michele Tafoya and Paul Begala. "Like in Europe, the modern countries of Europe, [are] way more restrictive than we are, or what they’re even proposing. If you are pro-choice, you would like it a lot less in Germany, and Italy, and France, and Spain, and Switzerland. Did you know that? I didn’t know that.”

This week Bill Maher learned European countries have far more restrictive abortion laws than we do in America and that women report being pro-life more often than men. How many people have no clue about this or about fetal pain science? If they did, some might change.pic.twitter.com/8RjUXtrbVX

He went on to add, “I learned most people who are pro-life are women. Did not know that. ... And I thought this was interesting, most abortions now, even when you go to a clinic, are done with the pill. The pill. And pills are easy to get in America. So, you know, for the people who say we’re going back to 1973, we’re not. That’s just factually inaccurate.”

Reactions on Twitter spoke volumes about the magnitude of the left's misleading pro-abortion propaganda:

The \u201cabortion rights\u201d lobby is built on a foundation of euphemisms, lies, and outright evil, which more and more people are finding out now that the \u201cconstitutional right\u201d fabrication is fading awayhttps://twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1523376552620089344\u00a0\u2026

I think the left is mostly fueled by emotions. If more folks took a step back, lived in some of the gray areas and realized social@issues are not one size fits all, we could actually get some stuff figured out and rationality will no longer be called racism.

Right if the cult leadership, proclaimed that abortion is racist then the entire left would all the sudden denounce it and say it was a GOP ploy

They don't learn because our media is blatantly dishonest and push propaganda instead of facts.\nAsk 100 people today what overturning Roe and Casey will mean and 85% will tell you it makes abortion illegal throughout the country...

And exactly why Democrats are so eager to have total control over what stories are told and which ones are censored.

The European standard should be added to the Republican platform. Reasonable people will support it going forward.
