Instead of being a great comedian, Stephen Colbert descended into woke madness, turning a legendary late-night show into a cringeworthy attempt to take a swipe at anyone who opposed his beliefs- including pro-lifers.   

With a “heavy” heart, on May 26th, 2026, we will finally get to say goodbye to Colbert’s floundering show after record low ratings, and we can tell you why.  

Turns out, praising abortion ad nauseum isn’t worth a single chuckle and doesn’t make anyone immune to a television show cancellation, no matter how mainstream it is.   

Without further ado, let’s take a trip down memory lane and visit some of Colbert’s worst abortion monologue flops.   

Men Can Be Against Abortion, Too  

While Roe v. Wade was still the law of the land, Colbert was already on a tear. This time, against men for daring to have a say about abortion and protecting Life.  Colbert will claim to be a proud Catholic, but will throw his Church and faith under the bus for a cheap, secular laugh. Or at least what he would define as one.  

When 25 Republican lawmakers from Alabama created a pro-life law that would take effect when Roe was reversed, Colbert suggested that it was a real-life attempt at The Handmaid’s Tale.   

The real tragic tale is telling women that abortion is empowering and their only option, but if they did choose Life, they would ruin their lives.   

Roe v. Wade’s Reversal Leads to “Medieval Times”  

After Roe v. Wade’s reversal in June 2022, Colbert acted dismayed about the reversal instead of being relieved that pro-life states can fight for preborn lives. He likened it to “medieval times,” as he disregarded the rights preborn children have for the rights of people to kill their children.

He was met with mediocre laughter. Not quite the response he was hoping for, I’m sure.   

Colbert Relieved that Kansas Voted to Keep Killing Preborn Kids  

Colbert basked in the thunderous applause of his TV audience for announcing that Kansas “barely” held on to its “right” to kill preborn kids. As if that wasn’t ghoulish enough, he joked that the new state bird would be replaced by giving the bird to Justice Samuel Alito, who already has a satanist abortion facility named after his mom.   

Class act, right?   

Chemical Abortion Pills Access for Everyone  

The ongoing case of a Texas judge prohibiting Mifepristone, the first of the two-drug Chemical Abortion Pill regime, encouraged Colbert to criticize this brave attempt at saving preborn children and their mothers and claim that the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is the ultimate authority.   

If we’ve learned anything, even in the last few months, it is that the Biden administration’s FDA had no problem rubberstamping Chemical Abortion Pills, failing to conduct regular safety studies, and turning a blind eye to pro-lifers’ pleas for better science.   

Look at this recent study, Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), titled “The Abortion Pill Harms Women,” which found the effects far worse than the FDA admits.  Two new truths are now available to address old lies. Most importantly, we now know this: “Serious adverse events from mifepristone are approximately 22 times more frequent” than the FDA reports, which means that more than 1 in 10 patients will “experience at least one serious adverse event.”  

I wonder if Colbert would stand by Chemical Abortion Pills if he took the time to read this.   

Old Laws Don’t Mean They’re Bad Laws  

Mainstream media outlets such as The Guardian praised Colbert’s monologue attacking Arizona’s 160-year-old pro-life law as antiquated.   

“The law is so old, in fact, that it predates the invention of the cowboy hat, the urinal, the paper clip, the machine that makes paper bags, and Arizona as a state. “You can’t enforce state laws from before it was a state!” said Colbert. “If you could, people in Massachusetts could be arrested for failure to buckle hat.”  

Much like the Comstock Act, just because a law is old doesn’t mean that it’s bad. Sometimes the oldest ideas or statements, like in Psalm 139, a Scripture that’s thousands of years old:  

“For you created my inmost being;  

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  

 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;  

your works are wonderful,  

I know that full well.  

My frame was not hidden from you  

when I was made in the secret place,  

when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.”  

While we’re sure abortion isn’t the sole reason is show going down the toilet, his shift to woke ideology includes the abortion extremism narrative, which is a far cry from the “safe, legal, and rare” argument touted up until recently.   

So, farewell to Colbert. When you’re ready to be funny again, let us know- maybe now is the time to check in at Confession.
