Chris Rock on Abortion

Chris Rock has been doing stand up comedy, and what more obvious choice for a humorous topic than....abortion! I wish I could say I found it funny, but instead I found it more along the lines of nausea-inducing. But your sense of humour may differ. If you can find something funny here, more power to you.

But all sarcasm aside, I have to admit I was horrified that anyone would laugh at this stuff. Women laughing at crude and demeaning statements toward their own sex. Not to mention the callous indifference toward the life of the baby. Notice that Chris doesn't contest the fact that it is a baby.

The only way this is funny is that it is culturally acceptable to be willfully ignorant of the reality that babies are human people. If you fully accept that reality, then this comedy becomes, well, horrifying. It says a lot about our society that it is acceptable for anyone, anywhere, to joke about weighing up whether to discard a human life as casually as if voting them off Survivor.




For the sacredness of all human life. Love and peace,
