Joe Rogan Rips ‘Very Creepy’ Texas Abortion Law

Joe Rogan had some strong words about abortion policy in his conversation with state Representative James Talarico (D-TX) on Friday, calling some Texas restrictions “very creepy.”

In an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan spoke with Talarico about his state’s policy on abortion after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, referring to Texas’s actions around miscarriages as “incredibly insensitive.”

“There was also the thing where they were trying to go after women who traveled to other states,” Rogan said. “And even if there was no evidence– like say if a woman travels to see her in-laws or her parents or something like that and then has a miscarriage. That to me was very creepy.”

He added:

If this woman had traveled somewhere where abortion is legal and then lost her baby they would then be accused, even if they had not had an abortion. They would be questioned and that to me is incredibly insensitive. Especially when you take into consideration that some of these women may not have had abortions at all. They might have just lost the baby which happens quite often where there are miscarriages.

The podcaster also spoke with Talarico about those who support abortion without limits, some of whom Rogan has had on the podcast in the past:

ROGAN: So there’s a lot of nuance if you’re talking about abortion right because you’re not just talking about a woman’s right to choose but you’re also talking about rape and incest. So you’re taking about a women’s right to choose whether or not she carries a baby when it was not her choice to begin with.”

TALARICO: That’s right and it’s why I think that almost everyone in this country is pro-choice to some extent because the polling indicates that the vast majority of Texans, the vast of majority of Americans support exceptions for rape, incest, or threats to the mother’s health.

ROGAN: I’ve had arguments with people that don’t support that though, which is interesting they say– the argument is that they give is that two wrongs don’t make a right. And you know, it’s a crazy argument because they’re even talking about it with underage girls.
