'SNL' star Leslie Jones tears into Alabama abortion law: 'You can't tell me what to do with my body'
CNN ^ | May 19, 2019 | Jay Croft, CNN

CNN)Alabama's new anti-abortion law drew the fire of "Saturday Night Live" star Leslie Jones, who proclaimed, "You can't tell me what to do with my body" on the show. Jones opened her segment on "Weekend Update" wearing a "Handmaid's Tale" costume, which she quickly removed to reveal a T-shirt. It had the word "MINE" with an arrow pointing down. What followed was both comical and serious.

"The next thing you know, I'm at Starbucks and they won't take my credit card because I'm a woman, instead of the regular reason, which is I don't have no money on it," she said.

Jones showed a photo of the male legislators in Alabama who voted for the near-total ban on the procedure in an effort to overturn Roe v. Wade, the US Supreme Court ruling that allowed abortion nationwide in 1973. "This look like the mugshots of everyone arrested at a massage parlor," Jones said. "And if any of them had lips, I would tell them to kiss my entire a**. You can't control women because -- I don't know if y'all heard -- but women are the same as humans. "When women have a choice, women have freedom," Jones said about the wave of states passing measures to severely restrict abortion rights. "This really is a war on women."

She concluded by shouting "Dracarys!" the command a "Game of Thrones" character gives to a dragon to unleash fire on her enemies.

“My body, My choice!” They just laughed when I told them this at the Draft Board.

The arrow pointing down is not comical, it makes me shudder at the very thought.

[[”This really is a war on women.”]]

More precisely, this is a war on murderous abortion supporting women who have waged war on unborn babies!

Liberal child murderers don’t have to live in Alabama. I prefer that they stay in New York or the cesspool of Mexifornia and the Kill Zone known as Chicago. We will cede those sh!tholes to the Left and we will grow the rest of Red, White, and Blue America.

Her family DNA strain ends. Her brother died and she never married or produced and she’s 51.

You can’t tell us we can’t own guns, but you kerp trying. Both guns must be used responsibly. Failure to use them responsibly will involve consequences.

SNL is pathetic today, it’s just one more example of the left commandeering something and perverting it to suit their own sick agenda. Back in the 1970s when SNL started, they rarely commented on politics other than Dan Akroyd once in a while doing his Richard Nixon imitation or Chevy Chase doing one of his Gerald Ford prat falls, but it was none of this constant viciousness you see today. Week after week it’s the same thing, pathetic pandering and viciousness so much so that it’s no longer a comedy show, it’s Goebbels-like propaganda.

Most of the loudest ones will never need an abortion unless it’s a drive-by turkey basting

There are ALL KINDS of ways to avoid having a baby without killing the unborn child. Use them! With freedom also comes responsibility.

The same people who scream “My body, my choice” have no problem sticking their noses into your healthcare via the Medicare for All scam.

No one cares what you do with your body, it is the body of your pre-natal baby we are looking to protect from you.
