Recently, Lance appeared on Tim Pool&#8217;s podcast, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/timcast.com\/channel\/timcast-irl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Timcast IRL<\/a>.&#8221; During their discussion, abortion was mentioned, which Lance said he supports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the mother should still have the choice \u2014 ultimate authority \u2014 over what happens to her body,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What about meth?&#8221; Pool asked. Lance, who at first appeared confused at the question, said that if pregnant women use meth, child protective services should intervene. &#8220;Whoa, whoa, whoa \u2014 it&#8217;s her body, though,&#8221; Pool said.<\/p>\n<p>Lance responded, &#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s her body.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If she wants to do meth, what&#8217;s the big deal?&#8221; Pool asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUh, the big deal is that it\u2019s \u2013 she\u2019s intentionally trying to kill a child,\u201d Lance said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I love my job <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QDtrXFi7sY\">https:\/\/t.co\/QDtrXFi7sY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tim Pool (@Timcast) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Timcast\/status\/1654448066815041538?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 5, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Lance looked momentarily stunned as the words he just spoke sunk in, and Pool jumped in, saying, \u201cHold on there a minute,\u201d and Lance replied, \u201cYeah, I see where you\u2019re\u2014 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t understand what you\u2019re saying,\u201d Pool said. &#8220;It&#8217;s her body; if she wants to do meth, what&#8217;s the problem?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Lance pointed out himself, using drugs while pregnant harms a preborn child, a human being which is entirely distinct from his or her mother.
