In case you missed it, Jon Stewart recently hosted former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on his popular Comedy Central program "The Daily Show." Huckabee had previously been a guest, and Stewart invited him to return to discuss and issue of his choice. Mike chose the abortion issue. Click here to watch the entire unedited interview. (If you haven't seen it, I would encourage you to consider watching it before reading this article.)
First, as inflammatory as the title might be, I actually am a fan of the Daily Show. It's funny, and I think Jon Stewart is probably one of the brightest political commentators in the country. I also believe that pro-lifers need to stay in touch with how we're perceived by the other side. (Sometimes it's deserved, and sometimes it's not.)
Second, in general, I think this was a great discussion. Both Jon and Mike went into the dialogue with the mindset that this is a tough issue and not all people on the opposite side are wackos. Neither side was demonized and the discussion was very respectful.
That said, people have been attacking Mike for having the gall to even talk about this issue, so I'm going to balance this out a little, not by attacking Mr. Stewart, but by analyzing Stewart's arguments a little deeper. I recognize that Mr. Huckabee couldn't have used all of my talking points since time is a major factor in settings like this, but I will offer several for your consideration. Let's take a look...
