A comedian who rose to fame after roasting President Trump and calling reporters “cowards” at the 2018 White House Correspondents’ dinner said her abortion made her feel like God.
“You can feel any way that you want after an abortion,” said 34-year-old writer and comedian Michelle Wolf. “Get one! See how you feel! You know how my abortion made me feel? Very powerful. You know how people say you can’t play God? I walked out of there being like, ‘Move over, Morgan Freeman. I am God!'”
In state legislatures across America, abortion remains a volatile topic. Ohio, Georgia, Missouri, and several other states have signed “heartbeat bills” that make abortion illegal after the detection of a fetal heartbeat. In July, the Trump administration announced that family-planning clinics are prohibited from receiving Title X funding if the clinics refer women to abortion providers.
Later in the special, Wolf further made light of abortion, saying it should be treated with all the gravity of a “gluten allergy” and that “you should be able to get an abortion for any reason you want.” In 2018, Wolf said, “God bless abortions” on the July 4 special of her Netflix show The Break with Michelle Wolf.
