It's been 14 years since the last adventures of Borat, and fairly soon he'll be off on his latest American excursion. The landscape of America has changed quite a bit since those days though, and Borat is finding himself in a strange new world filled with all sorts of potential hijinks. One of his latest outings, as shown exclusively by Variety, is a visit to an anti-abortion clinic where he... well it's a bit complicated.
As shown in the clip, Borat feeds his daughter a cupcake with small plastic baby figure on it. In her haste to consume the treat, she also eats the plastic figure, and so Borat and his daughter go to have the baby "removed," and at this point the audience can probably see where this is going. As Miss Sagdiyev so eloquently informs the man at the clinic: “I have a baby inside me, and I want to take it out of me.”
For those unaware with the American abortion debate: Crisis Pregnancy Centers are not actually locations that offer abortions to pregnant women. Instead, they are set up by anti-abortion activists and religious groups in order to dissuade women from having abortions. With this goal in mind, they often present themselves as legitimate medical centers, and will sometimes dishonestly imply that an abortion can be performed by them in order to get women in the door, even though these facilities never preform abortions, and are not able to. Once inside, the facility is set up to do everything it can to convince women to continue their pregnancy.
With that info, it's probably fairly obvious why Borat would set his sights on a location like this. Even in the brief clip shown, there's clearly a lot of mileage to be had out of messing with some of these centers. From Borat and daughter earnestly asking for them to remove a plastic baby, to Borat's shameful admission that he is the one who "put the baby inside her." It's also emblematic of the sequel's approach to satire, simply laying all the cards on the table and watching people run with them. People will be able to see the rest of the film very soon when it launches on Prime Video.
Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm will be available on Prime Video this October 23rd.
