It’s been a couple of weeks since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, resulting in states determining what to do with abortion rights, with some banning the medical procedure.
Joe Rogan finally shared his thoughts on the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade during Tuesday’s edition of “The Joe Rogan Experience” while peaking with fellow comedian Duncan Trussell.
“This f–king Roe versus Wade thing freaks me out,” Rogan began. “For so many reasons, first of all, because how many women need to get abortions because of the health of the child?”
“How many people need to get abortions? Because their child was raped?” Rogan asked.
Furthermore, the podcaster shared his concern about how human rights can quickly disappear in the United States. “Rights that we never thought we were gonna lose,” Rogan said. “Like there’s certain ways that we looked at the world.”
“We’re like, ‘Well, we’ve passed that the government’s control over us is not nearly what it was in the eighties or the nineties. We’ve moved past that.’ And then all of a sudden, especially during the pandemic, it’s almost like while you were sleeping, they’re just like gaining ground.”
Finally, Rogan stated that removing Roe v. Wade is a return to people to the old ways of how the country used to be. The comedian also emphasized that a woman who is sexually assaulted cannot have an abortion.
“It seems like even if it wasn’t, even if it wasn’t a long-term plan, even if there wasn’t some grand scheme to try to enslave people back to the old way. They’re doing exactly what you would do if that was true,” Rogan added.
“Your telling someone that gets raped they can’t have an abortion? Like to say to those people that we get to decide what you do with your body. That’s where shit gets really f–king squirrely.”
