"I'm 100% pro choice... However, I still think you're killing a baby."

"You walk in with the baby, you come out without one. What happened to the baby?"

"It's not a baby yet... is what they say. But my gut says that doesn't make sense. That would he like if I was making a cake and I poured some batter in a pan and I put it in the oven, and 5 minutes later, you came by and you grabbed the pan, you threw it across the floor. And I went 'wtf you just ruined my birthday cake!' and then you're like 'well that wasn't a cake yet'. It's like 'well it would have been, if you didn't do what you just did, there would have been a cake in 50 minutes; something happened to that cake, you cake murdering bitch!'"

"I think it's great you're killing all the babies! Help mother nature out, there are too many of us."

What are your thoughts on this bit?

It's a funny bit. The whole special was great. But I also don't think the distinction of what is and isn't a baby matters when it comes to bodily autonomy.

And also

If I opened the oven 5 minutes before the cake was supposed to finish baking, took out the pan and threw it away, did I ruin a cake, or did I ruin an almost-cake?

What about 10 minutes? When not all the batter has finished baking? Is it a cake then?

What about 30 minutes? 45 minutes? 49.5 minutes?

When does cake batter become a cake?

Yeah, I used to be pretty torn on the issue because I can see where people get the idea that it is a person.

Thankfully, the anti-choice movement became so outwardly loathsome (or I just wised up) that it made the choice easier.

In his example, that would be like throwing away flour instead of the already mixed batter.

I do agree with this part.

Abortion is a difficult thing for many and it does involve ending a potential life. Regardless, I think the trauma and difficulty of pregnancy and child rearing is too great to not be pro-choice though. We have to have people want to be parents rather than force it onto them. Legal and social abortion restrictions are not what's needed.

The joke itself is stupid though

Viability as the metric for the legality of abortion leads to abortion being outlawed and the loss of reproductive rights.

Yep... a fetus can be viable outside the womb at what.... 30 weeks? Mine was born premature at 37 weeks with zero issues.

Almost no one aborts at that stage, but I still think it should be illegal unless it's a life/death situation with the mother. That obviously still makes me pro-choice though.

I think it's not particularly interestingly written, i.e. if a D list comedian delivered the joke, it wouldn't feel like they were punching above their weight too much. Sure, Bill Burr probably has better delivery than that hypothetical D list comedian, but it just feels lazy.

Its being too literal about it for the sake of a joke. Its just pedantic. I could use the same logic in the fact that I bet he still loves scrambled eggs. Those are a potential chicken using this thinking. Cant hurt the potential.

Its a really hard concept for people to understand that there is more than two states for things to be in these days. Having a three step process seems scary I guess.

It's not murder and it can't be legal and be murder. Murders are illegal. Using that terminology lends credence to the anti-woman, anti-choice agenda.

You are killing a human, but is absolutely not murder. Women have lost their humanity because we have let the government call it murder.

Irrevelant. A woman should still be able to abort her unborn baby for absolutely any reason. Bodily autonomy doesn't care about babies and the government can shut the fuck up

Yeah I mean I dont know why we have no pretend like there is zero issue with abortion to be pro choice or pretend like a fetus means nothing in if it lives or dies. It is just making abortion illegal causes way way more issues and the focus should be to prevent unwanted pregnancy so we can have less. End of the day you cant strap a woman down a force her to give birth.

Yes let us implement communism cause that did wonders for him everyone. Or I guess you are just doing to bring up mixed economies in European countries pretend they have zero aspects of capitalism, dont have smaller populations, etc.

not saying have anarcho capitalism but capitalism while having safety nets properly suited based on the society(not all places require the same type of government) is the reason you are typing right now.

No, European "socialism" is still just welfare capitalism. It's definitely better than American capitalism with barely any social safety nets in place, but still works via exploitation of the working class.

The world isn't overpopulated. "Capitalism is better than the alternative" doesn't actually change that fact or justify hoarding resources at the expense of millions/billions.
