'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.

Next year is season 45 . They have plenty of Democrats for great material but you know they won’t use it. Don’t want to weaken their hope to beat Trump & GOP.

You have a right to do what you want with your body. But giving doctors a license to kill is not your right.

Why are so many western women obsessed with murdering their children?

I suppose that question qualifies as rhetorical

I cannot stop watching a show I stopped watching in 1978 or 1979.

I cannot believe, from what I hear, that SNL has sunk so far into the cesspool.

Sad, really. C. Chase, D. Akroyd, J. Belushi, G. Morris, and the gang were genuinely, uproariously funny in their day.

I see no humor in what I hear about the current train wreck.

This is when the folks that know how would be running youtube ads and videos showing Pregnant Women with Needles in their Arms and a Crack Pipe in their mouth spouting the line:

“You can’t tell me what to do with my body”

She’s so ugly she’d have a hard time scoring with Rosie O’Donnell.

Why do these Ghouls keep talking about their body? It is not their body that is getting ripped apart and killed. It is a little child who will not get to live.

The law tells us all the time what we can or cannot do with our bodies. It forbids us to use our hands to choke someone. It forbids us to use our tongue to slander someone. It forbids us to us our intellect to defraud people. It tells us what speed we may achieve by pressing our foot on the accelerator. It tells us at what age we can consent to sex. The law is very much concerned with our bodies. It is not Gnostic.

SNL is pathetic today, it’s just one more example of the left commandeering something and perverting it to suit their own sick agenda

Another among thousands of examples which prove the [Dennis] Prager Axiom: "Everything the Left touches they destroy"

CNN reports that abortion commentary is comical

That’s all you need to know

On the “bright” side, Leslie would be a terrible mother of a living child.

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

And s/he is a diesel Lesbian to boot. Probably the least likely human being to ever need an abortion.

Ever wonder why the women at pro-life rallies are so lovely?

Then she has zero personal need for an abortion and is just speaking in the abstract about others who want to terminate their child.

“You can’t tell me what to do with my body”

Nobody is...Alabama is just telling abortionists what they can’t do. You Ms Jones are free to set yourself on fire for all I care.
