Life Report - Episode 25 Excerpt - George Carlin on Abortion

Josh, Carrie and Michael begin a discussion that most pro-lifers are not having, which is responding to George Carlin's famous rant against pro-lifers in a stand-up routine. While the clips that are aired are tasteful, this should still be considered a "PG-13" episode.

This video is from the first 8 minutes of the episode. Listen to the full episode at http://ProLifePodcast.net. Be sure to comment and rate!

The drowning question is interesting. we are more likely to save the child because we are biologically prone to favor our own species. Not becaus we sense humans are more important. If u asked a chicken, it would save the chicken lol! why do christians always use the drowning scinario? what's the big deal about pro-choice? We have bilogical desires to give birth and biological desires to terminate and pro-choice suites both desires. Forcing people to give birth every time doesn't.

@lilhpster Do you think humans should follow every biological desire they have? Or are some biological desires wrong? I think any biological desire to kill our offspring should not be followed.

The only way I can describe this video is both frustrating and inspiring. It's frustrating in that no one says anything against anything Mr. Carlin has said. It is inspiring in that there are conservative "pro-lifers" that are willing to discuss these topics.

lol. This is just a short excerpt from a 2-part series we did on the podcast, responding to a bunch of audio files from Carlin's speech. You'll probably enjoy that more. Go to ProLifePodcast (DOT) NET and look in the show archives.

How comes when its a human its an abortion and its a chicken its an omelet?

You guys stopped the Carlin clip before he said that. Id like to see you try to argue that.

If you were at a river bank, and you saw a child drowning on your right and a chicken drowning on your left, and you could only save one, who do you save? No one in their right mind says the chicken. There's a reason for that, and I think it's that we all instinctively know there's something different about humans than chickens. So even if it COULD be proven that killing chickens for food was wrong, I don't think it would equal the wrongness of killing an innocent human child.

The reason that Christians give more atenttion to the fetuses with less than 2 months (which have no brain, heart and nerves) is not for humanitarian reasons, is because they want more Christians.

They don't care about life, and never cared when they burned all the blasphemous witches. They only care about earning a place in heaven, and show to their god that they are creating more warriors of God. They only care about conceive and increase more the Christian population...

The arguments from the host's were subservient to special pleading. These are duplicitous assertions which originate from societies impractical expectations about itself, expectations which arise from their hypocritically sanctimonious beliefs. Their ethical platforms collide with our very true emotional existence, and it is impossible to satisfy both realities, as we live in the latter. The only right we possess is the right to choice. The last joke about Carlin proved the special pleading.

@xXGoDxiSxdEaDx666Xx Our forefathers would disagree with you. They listed three unalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The right to life is the most fundamental right of everyone, preborn to elderly.

This people fight good arguments but at the end these is more facts to prove that science prevails over religion because it can be proven true unlike the notion of "Jesus" which can only be backed up on a book that isn't proven true neither but yet you can put facts out of a science book and prove them true by exploiting them unlike pulling facts out of a Bible. Honestly an abortion should only be determined by the mother all other people should STFU and mind their own business. P T F O

I would save the chicken because last time I checked it was still legal to eat a chicken. Fuck the child. That fucking turd producer and potential crack addict can drown for all I care.

What could Georgia Carlin "rip apart"? The packaging to his syringe to inject his heroin?
