A staunch defender of abortion says that it is essentially murder.
Host Bill Maher made the comment Friday on his show “Real Time.”
“I can respect the absolutist position, I really can,” Maher said speaking of pro-lifers in a video clip posted to X.
“I scold the left when they say, ‘Oh you know what, they just hate women,’” he said.
Bill Maher said the quiet part out loud about abortion:
“I scold the left when they say ‘they just hate women.’ They don’t hate women… they think it’s murder. And it kind of is. I’m just okay with that. I am. There’s 8 billion people in the world. I’m sorry, we won’t miss you.”… pic.twitter.com/brO6OOYbtj

“They don’t hate women,” Maher said, adding that the pro-abortion side “just made that up.
“They think it’s murder. And it kind of is. I’m just okay with that. I am. There’s eight billion people in the world. I’m sorry, we won’t miss you. That’s my position on this,” he said.
“Is that not your position if you’re pro-choice?” he said.

This fall, Florida voters will vote on Amendment Four which would make the right to an abortion part of Florida’s state constitution, according to WESH-TV.
“The decision should be a personal one,” amendment supporter Barbara Ihns said during a rally of the proposal’s backers.
“Whether one needs to terminate a pregnancy, wants to terminate a pregnancy, that shouldn’t be a politician’s choice, it should be a woman’s choice,” she said.
“I believe that abortion is murder,” counter-protester Jacob McCreary said.
“I think the science says that life begins at conception so if that’s true then there is no justification for abortion,” he said.
Michele Herzog, the director of Pro-life Action Ministries of Central Florida, said abortion supporters will have a battle on their hands.
“We are launching our campaign to vote no on 4,” she said.
“We are going to expose this amendment for what it is and what it is is abortion on demand, and it is late term abortions up to the moment of delivery,” she said.
The Florida amendment for abortions up to birth is leading in a new poll.
