A Closer Look at Steven Crowder's "I'm Pro-Life Change My Mind" Video

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Usually, when I do videos like this they’re accompanied by accusations of being petty or jealous of another youtuber’s success. Both of these accusations are unfortunate because it side steps important issues like contradictions and inconsistencies that really need a second look and special consideration.

I’m well aware that we live in a world where cognitive dissonance has woven itself deep into the psyche of the world’s inhabitants like a rapidly growing cancer. And this doesn’t just happen on one side of the political spectrum. Cognitive Dissonance, or the state of possessing and maintaining, seemingly at all costs, inconsistent thoughts, beliefs and behaviors in the face of credible information that challenges those thoughts, beliefs and behaviors, permeates our culture. Matter of fact, it’s hard NOT to have a touch of it and you really have to consciously work to fight it off.

So…lemme say before I begin my observation, as I did back when I pointed out that the college kid Yusef gave Crowder a run for his money in a previous video taking him to task on his own internal inconsistencies. I appreciate the hard work Crowder and his team put in. I have nothing against any of them personally and applaud their success. They have truly earned the niche they’ve managed to carve out for themselves. I am and have been a subscriber of his channel for a while and enjoy much of the content they put out. Matter of fact, if you’re not a subscriber of his…check out his channel…I’m confident you’ll glean something from his content.

Having said that…none of us is beyond scrutiny and criticism. If you think that there are people who are…then you my friend are a member of the cult of personality and you need to think seriously about quitting that cult lest one day you find yourself in Guyana sipping on red flavored water.

The reason this is so important is because a large number of people follow Crowder, they’re influenced by him and a lot of them may take everything he says without filtering it through a critical lens.

In his recent video “I’m Pro-Life (3rd Edition) Change My Mind” which to me was fascinating…because I enjoy hearing people attempt to rationalize their own thoughts and actions, Crowder is talking to a college girl who apparently had had an abortion. Like I said, it was an interesting, cordial and at times intense conversation where the girl attempted to justify and defend her choice to have an abortion up to a certain point, after which (say in the third trimester), she isn’t for abortions unless it’s, as she puts it, “medically necessary.” She defended her position of pro-choice which is nothing more than a euphemism for pro infanticide or pro murder in the face of Crowder giving her 4 other options she could have chosen without having to choose the 5th option of murder. The choices he gave were abstinence, contraception, motherhood and adoption. Which are all choices the girl could have made that would have prevented an unwanted pregnancy. I’m totally on board with this.

Now keep in mind, this whole time Crowder is taking the position that life is precious and every life is worth defending and protecting. That murdering an innocent life is always wrong. And I whole-heartedly agree.

And that brings us to this part of the conversation:

Which begins at around the 10 minute mark. Listen closely. (clip)

And he’s right. That thing whatever you wanna call it that’s growing inside that mother from conception is a human life and it’s precious and nobody has the legitimate moral right to initiate violence on and end that life. (clip)

Her question is, “why is it okay to end a human life only when the government says that we can.” Which is kind of a strange question coming from a pro choice proponent. Through Roe v Wade the government grants permission to kill babies in the womb without calling it murder…which is completely insane! Government saying this is alright does not make this okay. So, in a sense she just argued against herself. But what I wanna point out is Crowder’s response to this. Let me play her question again.

(clip)

Steven’s response was, “it’s not okay to end human life against one’s will.” And he’s right. I’ll play it again… (clip)

His response was, “Listen, we’re talking about wars and we’re talking about self-defense.” Almost as if he’s now taken on the roll of justifier of mass murder as she has been. Just as Abortion is a euphemism for sanctioned mass murder in the womb, War is the government’s euphemism for sanctioned mass murder on the battle fields.

The wars bankers have involved us in since the inception of the federal reserve in 1913 have been banker funded and banker initiated wars of OFFENSE, not wars of self-defense. From world war 1, world war 2, the Korean war, the Vietnam war, the Middle east, Afgahnistan…every war has been a banker war. If you don’t believe me, read Major General Smedley Butler’s book War is a racket. They are offensive campaigns designed to expand the Federal reserve corporate empire.

Then she says this (clip) And it’s true…many many innocent children die in war along with innocent men and women. But now she’s being a hypocrite because if she cared about innocent children dying, then she wouldn’t be pro war or pro abortion. But she has further served to reveal Crowder’s hypocrisy as it relates to his justification of war. And I get it. People think wars are fought to defend one’s nation against aggressors and secure our freedoms…but if you look at our history it’s the people who run this country who have been the aggressors and they’ve dragged us into it, moving us like pieces on a chess board.

After she says innocent people die in war, Crowder says this… (clip)

IN other words she doesn’t approve of children dying as a result of war (clip)

Now he soundly pinned her to the ground with morally guided logic, but fails to see his own inconsistency as it relates to being okay with the murder that’s labeled war. A little later he says this

“I don’t appreciate a person killing another human being.”(clip)

If he truly didn’t appreciate that then he would be just as against war as he is against abortion.

But this is the mentality of many Americans. This is why the military industrial complex has so much support and is able to siphon so much money from tax payers to build their war machines, this is how we’ve gotten away with empire building around the world and this is part of why we’re tens of trillions of dollars in debt. War is why we have a dishonest fiat currency system and War is why we give so much aid to foreign countries. Because people believe that that kind of murder is somehow justified.

      Look, I would tell them. If your mother aborted you, you wouldn’t be here to advocate the sacrificial killing of a baby to your god Satan and his fellow Demoncraps.

      Don’t you find that hypocritical? Don’ you want another person like you so they can sacrifice their child to Molech and Baal??

      C’mon, sure you do you goddanm hippocrite. It’s all about you, isn’t it? Don’t you want another one like you?

      BUT YOU CAN’T because it’s all about YOU. The goddamn HIPPOCRITE! :lol:
