Maher: Men Struggling with Inflation Should Support Abortion Because Babies Are Costly

Ian Hanchett 12 Oct 2024

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that male working-class voters who are struggling with inflation “should be more pro-abortion than anybody” because if one of those voters “can’t afford his bills, wait until he has a baby he doesn’t want.”

While talking about 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris’ and 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump’s poll numbers with male voters, radio host Buck Sexton said that he thinks one reason for that, and the gap between the two with female voters is, “I think the Democrat[ic] Party spends a tremendous amount of time — because it thinks it’s a very effective issue, and, traditionally it has been — on the abortion issue. Well, to a guy who works at the steel mill, who’s like, inflation is killing me, I can’t afford my bills, the abortion issue is not, I’m just saying it’s not top of –.”

Maher cut in to respond, “Well if he can’t afford his bills, wait until he has a baby he doesn’t want. This guy should be more pro-abortion than anybody.”

(If you have to pay) Condoms: $10/dozen more or less. Abortion: $300.

A year's supply and no murder, vs murder.

As a practical consideration, though, someone struggling with inflation is either:
in a relationship, often with kids,
Paying ludicrous child support,
or just having such a hard go of it single, such that opportunities to become a father might be somewhat limited.

Children happen when they happen. Being a stand-up father should still count for something, and once helped shape opportunities for advancement or employment. I know I took a layoff in '82 rather than bump a less senior employee because they has a baby on the way.

The child today that 'could not be afforded' may become more affordable before it is even born. (God Provides)
