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.”
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.” -- excerpt, rest at link above --
