In April 2019, a Twitter post by Pyle from 2017 resurfaced regarding the pro-life rally March For Life. According to some reporters, Pyle's tweet expressed support for, or defended, March For Life. The tweet caused many fans to turn against Strange Planet and its creator, in a controversy described by at least one outlet as an example of the Milkshake Duck phenomenon.

Continuing the Wikipedia quote for context

Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife "have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing." He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were "troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it."[25][26][27]

I'm sure all the women rendered dead or permanently infertile by the abortion bans passed since then can appreciate the nuance of Pyle's belief in the separation of church and state. /s

You can be pro life and still see that those policies are needlessly cruel.

There’s a big gap you can fall into while being pro life between forcing women to carry dead fetuses until they become horribly sick and suggesting that healthy fetuses be carried but maybe given up for adoption. Plus you can be against abortion privately without suggesting it be banned altogether.

Honestly his response there sounds like he’s not one of those insane people.

Often, it's about not proving your idea wrong, but about proving wrong the idea that your idea is wrong.
