Comedian Chris Rock made waves in his latest Netflix comedy special, “Selective Outrage,” bizarrely ranting about abortion while acknowledging that preborn children are babies. He also coarsely joked that abortion should be legal… even up to four years old. In doing so, he unintentionally highlighted the absurdity of the “pro-choice” position.

“A lot of people say, ‘Chris, you shouldn’t talk about abortion. It’s a women’s issue. I’m like, ‘Hey! I’ve paid for more abortions than any woman in this room,’” the comedian said, according to the Washington Examiner. “When I go to the clinic, I say, ‘Give me the usual.’ When I go in, they give me a punch card. ‘Here you go.’ Two more, and I get a free smoothie. Mango!”

Rock’s comments, whether intentionally or unintentionally, highlighted the selfishness of pro-choice men. It is not about helping women, but making life easier for the man in question.
