Colbert: ‘Abortion’ Is a ‘Funny Word — Like Guacamole’

‘People criticized you because you said that, perhaps as an OB-GYN, you don’t do like the transvaginal ultrasounds on your show, you don’t deal with this question of abortion’

Colbert Joke! ‘Abortion’ Is a ‘Funny Word’ – Like ‘Guacamole’ (NewsBusters)

Oh, the irony. The liberal feminist media are proving to be trailblazers. At least, that is, for male comedians.  Abortion is “a funny word” – just like “guacamole” – according to comedian Stephen Colbert’s latest segment.

For his Sept. 15 “The Colbert Report” show, Colbert invited actress Mindy Kaling on as a guest to discuss her comments against abortion sitcoms. Following Colbert’s lead, Kaling admitted her show “might” find a “hilarious take on abortion” in the future. 

Kaling, who garnered fame with “The Office,” now writes, produces and stars as an obg-yn in Fox comedy “The Mindy Project.” During a recent interview, Flare’s Magazine’s Maureen Halushak quoted Kaling as saying, “It would be demeaning to the topic to talk about [abortion] in a half-hour sitcom.”
