Sarah Silverman Jesus Video Ignites Feminist Issue Abortion And Reproductive Rights Discussions: PBS To Honor Silverman And 'Girls' Creator Lena Dunham!

It wouldn't be Sarah Silverman without a little controversy and feminist flare, and her recent "Sarah Silverman is Visited by Jesus Christ" YouTube video has everyone talking.

The video begins with Sarah Silverman being accosted by Jesus Chris, and the pair keep each other company as serious topics on abortion and reproductive rights come up.

"Jesus, when does life begin?" asked Sarah Silverman in the video.

"At 40," joked Jesus Chris. "But fertilized eggs aren't people, people are people. But people who believe fertilized eggs are people are people too. You have to love them. You're not better than them."

"Using religion to dictate legislation is un-American, but it's happening," continued Sarah Silverman.

Sarah Silverman quickly moved onto the topic of abortion, focusing on Texas' move to diminish abortion clinics to a mere five.

"And then, before she can get the procedure, she must now be subjected to a violating vaginal probe, and forced to look at the ultrasound of the fetus," said Silverman. "Only then, can she continue with the procedure."

Watch the video below and to see some incisive comments:

Recently, PBS has announced it will honor Sarah Silverman and "Girls" creator (and fellow feminist) Lena Dunham in a documentary series called "Makers: The Women Who Make America."

According to Breitbart, the series will feature Sarah Silverman, Lena Dunham, "Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes, Jane Fonda, and screenwriter Linda Woolverton.
