'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.

We’re telling you what you can’t do to your baby’s body, i.e. kill it.

If both the photos on the jump page are of HER; she’s bulked up a bit since playing the Manigault role. I truly pray she humbles herself to God before some day she finds herself before His Judgment Throne, naked and guilty of infanticide.

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.

How about we save the babies and mutilate the carrying vessels/incubators (can't call them moms)? Their parts may not be worth much but it will send a message.

Actuality suicide is illegal... That is the state telling you what you can do with your body.

Funny how they will take your child from you for a risky SV40 vaccine shot. But they have a big problem with your choice of abortion. Odd how the government is allowed to do anything to control lives but stop abortions.

What choice does she give they body that she chose to grow inside of her. In all equality it has a choice too.

In the very founding document of our nation “The Declaration of Independence” it states that the “Right To Life” is a self-evident “Law Of Nature” and of “Natures God” and therefore unalienable.

Uhh, Leslie, the LAST thing you need to worry about is an unwanted pregnancy, at least rapists have standards.

I never heard of her either, but I very rarely pay attention to SNL.

I only know of her from the disastrous reviews of the "Ghostbusters" remake.
