Here is everything you need to know.
Bill Burr compares abortion to ruining a cake
Bill Burr has always been a rather controversial stand-up comedian. This time is no different as he recently cracked some jokes on abortion in his latest Netflix comedy special Bill Burr: Live at Red Rocks.
Burr starts by warning people as he says, ‘Everybody has an opinion. As do I. And I apologize that you’re going to have to listen to mine. Because I’m going to tell you right now I have a really weird take on abortion.’
He continued, ‘I’m 100 percent pro-choice, always have been. Pro-choice always made sense to me, because I don’t like people telling me what to do. I was just like that, it’s your body. Who am I and I tell you what to do with your body,”
The 54-year-old performer then adds, ‘However, I still think you’re killing a baby. See? That’s where it gets weird.’

He said, ‘That’d be like if I was making a cake. I poured some batter into a pan. And I put it in the oven. And then five minutes later, you came by and grabbed the pan and threw it across the floor.’
Burr further explains, ‘And I went, “What’s that f**k?” I just ruined my birthday cake. And I said, “That wasn’t a cake, yet.”‘
He then went on point out, ‘It’s like, “Well, it would’ve been. If you didn’t do what you just did, it would’ve been a cake in 50 minutes. Something happened to that cake, you cake-murdering son of a b****!.”‘

Then continued, ‘Here’s my question. If you kill a pregnant woman, you get double murder. If she was on her way to get an abortion do you get single murder?’
