Days after the Supreme Court announced the overturning of Roe v. Wade, eliminating abortion access for millions of women across the United States, a slew of late-night TV hosts used their platforms Monday to condemn the decision.
Handler soon turned her ire toward Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a figure who has become a firebrand for left-leaning Americans in recent days due to his absurd conclusion that the overturning of — including those that legalized gay marriage and gave Americans the right to use contraception.
Revealing she had three abortions as a teenager, Handler concluded by highlighting the seemingly tone deaf manner Democrats have utilized in recent days to address theruling, saying, “We need to do something about this — and we need to do it soon, because I cannot have Nancy Pelosi emailing me 500 times a day.”in America in a pre-taped segment filmed in front of Parliament.
Calling the U.S. “a place I love,” the London native said he felt “utter disgust and anger” with the decision. “We move instantly back to a dark age where a court has imposed a minority political view on a country for decades to come, with a decision that endagerns millions upon millions of women in their families,” he said. “To say that i’m outraged and devastated would be an understatement.
host Trevor Noah also addressed Friday’s ruling in a lengthy segment on Monday’s show. “The Constitution didn’t change,” Noah said before making a quick quip about the 2004 Nicolas Cage film,. “The only thing that changed is that Donald Trump, of all people, managed to appoint three pro-life justices to the Supreme Court — judges, who by the way, went on and on in their confirmation hearings about how much they respect the important precedent of Roe v. Wade.
Like Handler, Noah was quick to pounce upon Justice Thomas — whom Noah called “Justice QAnon himself” — and his bizarre concurring opinion. “This dude is so extreme, he’s talking about banning rights I didn’t even realize could be banned,” he said. “Like, at some point, you’re not even a judge anymore. You’re just a cockblock in a fancy robe.” He then focused in on Thomas’ curious exclusion of, which legalized interracial marriage, from the concurring opinion.
