A Conflicted Take on Abortion

The joke plays on the contentious nature of the abortion debate. It highlights both the pro-life argument of "killing babies" and the pro-choice argument of "giving women a choice." The humor comes from the blunt juxtaposition of these two opposing viewpoints.

• Abortion
• Side
• Woman
• Baby
• Hand
• Kill

• I don't get why it is called abortion instead of murder.
• Abortion is bad.
• How come when women decide to kill their unborn baby it's a "choice"? But when I decide to drive my car into a playground full of children it's called "murder."
• Want to hear an abortion joke, or any joke for that matter? You have that option, and you can thank your mother for that. But that's a question that will never be heard by an aborted unborn baby, whose only option was death. And that's no joke.
