Josh Denny is apparently a person who exists. He used to have Food Network show which ended years ago. He's pro-life, and over the Texas heartbeat law expressed that so the tolerant left tried to take his job.
Food Network noted they've already memory-holed him: https://archive.ph/wip/X9ru1
For those asking: Our working relationship with Josh Denny ended years ago and we removed all episodes he hosted at that time. His views do not reflect our company values and we regret giving him a platform.

If you regret having ever given me a platform, how about you send me a check for the 10’s of millions of dollars my show made for your network(s)?
You knew my views and my style of comedy when you hired me.
My views represent the beliefs of half of this country.

Just to catch the people up that think both sides can “co-exist” in this country:
My anti-abortion stance (and jokes peppered throughout it) have enraged the left so much that roughly 10,000 people have spent all day trying to get me fired from a show that ended 3.5 years ago.
A simple google search and reading the first article that comes up would have quickly revealed this to anyone with a brain.
They don’t actually care about truth, or reality. They threaten the network that produced my show with a boycott, but they obviously don’t watch it.
They see my bio, and immediately go right to trying to take my livelihood away; hurt my family; dox my relatives and friends. I’m not asking for pity. Just wake up and realize there is no more middle. They want to destroy us.
That so?
I'm simply pointing out that if you believe abortion is 'killing babies', that requires you to believe that there is an equivalence between an embryo (or even fertilized egg) and a baby. The rest is secondary.
There is no argument that can be made which places any point on the continuum of human life outside it. A life is formed and continues growing until the day it is extinguished - at each point along the timeline it is as human as at any other point. A child is no less human than an adult, a centenarian no less human than a toddler. A dead human, though the life has left them, still the physical form of humanity, even though the vital spark has left. Death is as natural a state for our species as infancy.
If there were the possibility for an embryo to develop into a member of another species, there would be an argument worth hearing about when exactly to declare a life a human one - and none would be able to deny that the absolute latest moment would be that in which all other possibilities ceased to be.
Bacteria are 'life' as well. The question is whether it is a 'baby'.
A bacterium has a particular genetic sequence which marks it as a member of its species, as does a human.
Confusing the two because for the first instant, they are approximately the same size is beyond disingenuous.
But I did not conflate the two because of their size, but because your argument was based on the fact that it was 'a life'.
What about a fetus? After 8 weeks it is called a fetus, so for all intents and purposes that's what is banned in Texas. What about 12 weeks? 16 weeks? 24 weeks? 36 weeks? Is it okay to kill a 36 week fetus but not ten minutes later when it is born? If so can you explain it in a way besides the words used for the stage of that human's development?
He's a Leftist, they don't have the intellectual capabilities to discuss the step-by-step ontology associated with their dissonance between aborting embryos and murdering babies, which is precisely why he won't actually respond to your questions in good faith. He's all snark and no substance (he is friends with the tranny KIA mods on Reddit after all).
It's why people like Antonio have to lie themselves and call it "pro-choice" instead of "pro-abortion"... to ease the moral implications of the act. Because calling it "pro-abortion" brings wise to the very unsavory reality that it's about murdering babies.
Can you tell me what the exact moment an embryo becomes a baby? I've always struggled with that one.
No more than I can tell you at what point something becomes a heap.
At least you know the nature of the problem. Sorites' paradox is the thing that forced me to abandon the "pro-choice" position as morally defensible.
