During the show, Maher engaged in a discussion with British author and journalist Gillian Tett and television personality Piers Morgan. He argued that those who support pro-life views are "kind of" correct in their assertion that abortion equates to "murder." However, he underscored his acceptance of this perspective.

Trump, the former president, had previously criticized GOP members for their handling of the abortion issue during the 2022 midterm elections on Truth Social in January 2023. He distanced himself from the losses suffered by various Republican candidates, stating it "wasn't my fault."
