You have the right to do what you want to your own life and body.

But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you. Bible Gateway passage: 1 Peter 2:18-20

@@GhostWatcher2024 Did you know that there is NO FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL AVAILABLE TO WOMEN THAT IS 100% EFFECTIVE! The only thing a Woman can do if she wants to make sure she doesn't have a baby is a full hysterectomy. And that is not reversable. Even having a Woman's tubes tied can result in an Ectopic pregnancy, which will usually kill the Woman! And what about those women who are forced to have sex by abusive husbands or boyfriends or by those husbands or boyfriends that make threats to abandon them when they don't get their little winkies sated? And no of COURSE they don't want to use a condom because it makes it feel a little bit less great for a few minutes and they have to keep going a little while longer before they get off. And what about the women who are RAPED by men who think they have a right to breed on any woman they want to? Is it their fault that the rapist impregnated them? I'll answer that for you.. .NO. When even abstinence is no guarantee that you'll not get pregnant - and rapists make sure that it's not - then abstinence is not the answer. BUT there IS a solution to the problem that would stop the VAST MAJORITY of abortions and unwanted pregnancies from happening. The BEST thing you can do to help prevent abortions and unwanted pregnancies is to help make sure that all men get a reversible vasectomy! In fact, if we mandated that all males in this country get a reversible vasectomy by their 18th birthday, then the need for abortions and unwanted pregnancies would plummet! Vasectomy is inexpensive, takes a couple of hours in a doctor's office or clinic, requires only a local anesthetic, and heals in a couple of days! And it is easily and cheaply reversible! If they want the vasectomy reversed, all they need is a signed contract with a woman of legal age who agrees to breed with them or carry for them, in the case of a surrogate, stating the enforceable responsibilities of each person involved. That way the child would be protected AFTER it was born as well as before. After pregnancy is accomplished, you would have 3 months to get the vasectomy again, just in case there are any complications in the early stages, like miscarriage. And you would not be creating any little lives that you refuse to be held responsible for, Men! Remember, the thing YOU think is the main cause of the need for abortion (since you may not consider any of the normal causes for abortion to be needs) is really MALE FERTILITY AND IRRESPONSIBILITY! So this fixes that problem cheaply, easily, and in one day for each procedure! And it's usually covered by insurance! Let's fix the problem with VASECTOMIES FOR ALL MALES! If you are against abortion then you would certainly be for this! So tell me Josh, what do you think of this idea?

There's a reason for that left-handed bs. Left is sinestre which also means sinister. So lefties are automatically "sinister" to the unenlightened.

That hypocrisy seems to cut both ways.
The GLARING hypocrisy of SNL. Were they saying this "my body, my choice" rhetoric about COVID mask mandates and vaccines/boosters as well?
The quickening refers to a time when most women knew they COULD NO LONGER take certain herbs in order to miscarry a child. It is the time when the baby begins to move and can be felt by the woman. FYI self induced abortion has been around since forever and WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND no matter what law is passed and what consequences people face. FYI.

I love comedy so much because it can raise awareness about issues that matter in our society. Thank you for this skit given the recent development on RoeVWade.
On what basis do women NEED abortion?
@@naturallycurlyhair4413 Need is a relative term. It could relate to survival of the mother or the well-being of the potential child if it is allowed to mature. The foster system is a mess and many women can't afford to raise a child, medically or financially.
@@lizthom9434 Your argument with children having a less than ideal life you could use that reasoning to euthanize all children in foster care as well. You’re also forgetting that this would be a very young baby, there’s hundreds of people on waiting lists for babies. A 13 year old kid may be stuck in foster care, but a 3 month old is not.
And in terms of the woman being in trouble health wise. Do you think a doctor should perform a quadruple bypass and someone if they don’t need it? ‘Cause at the moment abortion is purely used for nothing more than a cosmetic surgery which ends up making light of women who actually almost died and wanted to have a child. And after all that is said and done the woman chose to have sex and therefore got pregnant.

@@irenemax3574 , Um, couldn't it also be because she's of at least partial Scots descent? Her mother's maiden name was Campbell, and the name "McKinnon" is also Scottish.

SCOTUS in 1973 used law 105 yrs. old that was written to protect freed Black slaves from being denied their rights, (and they were denied their rights anyway.) There's nothing in it about abortion, or the right to have one. They made that up.
If we are going to have that right, our lawmakers should enact such legislation. State by state, or federally. Given the numbers of citizens on both sides of the matter, I would opt for state by state. And , as I've seen sonograms of babies in the womb, I would prefer more restrictions on the practice.

As she should be

I love having Benedict on with the SNL crazies!! Well done.
The moors line classic. Still going over people heads. SNL really did well with this one haha.
But see that's the problem. This cold open is meant to ridicule abortion opponents yet they will not understand any of this. They know zero history and will not comprehend even these fake English accents.
Yup but 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Can you explain? Thanks

Thank you SNL cast and crew for fighting the fight! We need all the help we can get!

Why would the cathedrals dancing fools be of any help to the peasants?
help to murder children who cant stand up for themselves???
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“We need to fight against the impediments in our way to kill babies! Let’s all show our moral superiority by killing kids!”
No way history looks back favorably on this….
Mad love to the set dressers who lit REAL FLAMES on an SNL.cold open!
“She’ll be so happy about her crime” is such an under rated line!
“Throw left-handed children into the river.” Oh, I love that particular zinger!
gimme a left hand-j
And today, Democrats want to "throw" children with Down's Syndrome "into the river."
Mean if they are going to base 2022 law off then , need to adopt other laws to introduce balance . Mean if republicans want it grown children and a river over a clump of cells that's dark but hey as they wish for their feel feels .
This feels kind of like a Monty Python sketch. Who is going to get an old-fashioned dunking to check if she's a witch? A little bloodletting anyone?
I was thinking the same thing! Monty Python is legendary
Bloodletting was Theodoric of York.

Clearly, she’s made out of wood
Not really. Monty Python was actually funny.
@@Silverballoondog she must have weighed the same as the duck.
This was good enough to watch on repeat. The funniest part is everything they say is true.
I thought it was funny when they cut to news footage from 9/11
Watching a video twice?!
Aahhhh! The Prophecy!

TH-cam. These comments for this video are in the minority. TH-cam puts all the negative comments ( this video specifically) at the bottom ie. Biased
Fun fact: Alito did choose to quote a dude that held witch burnings. Two of them. I'm so glad that at any moment now I'm going to wake up and this will all be a horrible booze and wings induced nightmare and I will still have say over my own uterus!..... Right??
At least you can wake up. Abrtd babies can’t
@@jalexb915 Sucks to be them, then.
As a noble from 13th century England, I can confirm their accents were on point.
Well that was really clever and and it sounded like half the audience didn't get most of it. Kinda explains the reason the sketch even exists when you think about it. For those of us who still can.
Nah, these folks think they’re deep. Whack.
@Jesus is coming. Read the Gospel. 18 You who are slaves must submit to your masters with all respect.[a] Do what they tell you-not only if they are kind and reasonable, but even if they are cruel. 19 For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment. 20 Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.

“Nayyy…I’m just playing you know I can’t vote. Moors gone be moors” 😂😂😂
Cumberbatch has great comic timing!
The Baptist minister and the Catholic priest argued over when life began, one held that it started at birth, the other that it began at conception. They couldn't convince, but agreed to call a rabbi by way of a tie breaker. The rabbi said "Life beings when the kids move out, and the dog dies."
Funny 😄
Ok, this was funny and so true, Don Meaker 😄
@@gracewatson6927 I hope it isn't too funny, or I will be stuck doing the opening act in heaven for Bob Saget and Norm McDonald.
The part about the dog dying wasn't funny.
I love this! The way they create characters who think banning abortion is too extreme, but stoning people is okay. Some seriously good social commentary.
Stoning Alito maybe okay then.
Wait so...unborn kids are just as morally culpable as criminals condemned to the death penalty? I guess I'm not following.
@@mlh5434 correct
@@kbanghart Welp, looks like the human race will not continue then
Don't forget the discarded left handed children.
A sketch that had me simultaneously laughing and crying. Thanks SNL.
And you're in the top comments thanks to TH-cam's bias to the Left.
the writing of this is absolutely brilliant
A 13th-century English law applied retroactively on Native American soil? That colonialism on another level. Those European immigrants completely lost it.
@ff eater It's ok to think abortion is wrong, just don't force other people to think. that and apply it to yourself. Referring to a time when humanity outside Europe was considered as animals, European women were slightly better, the earth was flat and the sun turned around earth is maybe not the best argument. You cannot cherry-pick what was wrong then and now according to your beliefs. You can just state them without explanation because this is what it is, a belief and you have the right to have one.
republicans: "We see no problem with forcing women to bear children, even if against their will."
The Taliban: "THANK YOU!"
republicans: 😳😬
Maybe the terrorist we were fighting was inside us all along.
That's not the issue and not all Democrats are down with killing fetuses. It's about enabling states the right to choose on this matter via voting.
@@johndow7689 WAT. It's about citizens having medical privacy and bodily autonomy, which violates the religious beliefs of christianst trying to steal our democracy and turn into a gross theocracy (because they hate and fear women and the power we have). Pay attention!
@@johndow7689 except they won't actually have that choice. Their politicians will decide, and due to gerrymandering and blackmail, the people don't even have that much say over who their politicians are.
And yes, blackmail is a big issue. Most of Kentucky hates Mitch McConnell, but he brings a lot of money to their state, so they keep voting him in. He's holding the economic welfare of the entire state hostage so that people who don't like him keep voting for him.
@@johndow7689 yeah no.... everyone and their grandmother knows this is about religion. So don't pull the state rights crap.
Lastly 70% of Americans have no issue with roe v wade. So what's your point? People voted yet you still say "let's do that again"
Just because I have plague doesn't mean I have to wear a mask .. my body my choice 😅
I mean, SNL absolutely and brilliantly DESTROYED the lunacy and ignorance of the MAGAs with this open.
Ah, the hypocrisy.
@@GhostWatcher2024 Almost no abortions abort fetuses, though, and even fewer would be if the abortion happened earlier because abortions were so available. Wads of human cells don't have choices, unless you think menstruation, blowing your nose, and spitting are also abortions.
@@GhostWatcher2024 he or she
@@GhostWatcher2024 Did you know that there is NO FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL AVAILABLE TO WOMEN THAT IS 100% EFFECTIVE! The only thing a Woman can do if she wants to make sure she doesn't have a baby is a full hysterectomy. And that is not reversable. Even having a Woman's tubes tied can result in an Ectopic pregnancy, which will usually kill the Woman! And what about those women who are forced to have sex by abusive husbands or boyfriends or by those husbands or boyfriends that make threats to abandon them when they don't get their little winkies sated? And no of COURSE they don't want to use a condom because it makes it feel a little bit less great for a few minutes and they have to keep going a little while longer before they get off. And what about the women who are RAPED by men who think they have a right to breed on any woman they want to? Is it their fault that the rapist impregnated them? I'll answer that for you.. .NO. When even abstinence is no guarantee that you'll not get pregnant - and rapists make sure that it's not - then abstinence is not the answer.
BUT there IS a solution to the problem that would stop the VAST MAJORITY of abortions and unwanted pregnancies from happening. The BEST thing you can do to help prevent abortions and unwanted pregnancies is to help make sure that all men get a reversible vasectomy! In fact, if we mandated that all males in this country get a reversible vasectomy by their 18th birthday, then the need for abortions and unwanted pregnancies would plummet! Vasectomy is inexpensive, takes a couple of hours in a doctor's office or clinic, requires only a local anesthetic, and heals in a couple of days! And it is easily and cheaply reversible! If they want the vasectomy reversed, all they need is a signed contract with a woman of legal age who agrees to breed with them or carry for them, in the case of a surrogate, stating the enforceable responsibilities of each person involved. That way the child would be protected AFTER it was born as well as before. After pregnancy is accomplished, you would have 3 months to get the vasectomy again, just in case there are any complications in the early stages, like miscarriage. And you would not be creating any little lives that you refuse to be held responsible for, Men! Remember, the thing YOU think is the main cause of the need for abortion (since you may not consider any of the normal causes for abortion to be needs) is really MALE FERTILITY AND IRRESPONSIBILITY! So this fixes that problem cheaply, easily, and in one day for each procedure! And it's usually covered by insurance! Let's fix the problem with VASECTOMIES FOR ALL MALES! If you are against abortion then you would certainly be for this!
So tell me Josh, what do you think of this idea?
Allito basing his opinion on that of a witch hunter. Everything is fine here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been saying that for forever
They wanna say "my body; my choice" when it comes to vaccines and masks but not abortion
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
The other side has the opposite view. Both sides can be very contradictory. The End.
No. We dont believe in the my body my choice argument in masks or abortion, but we used it to highlight your hypocrisy.
@@samuelbarrett5648 well no its different. I can catch COVID from you but wearing a mask reduces that risk. If a woman gets an abortion it doesn't increase the risk of someone else getting an abortion.
@@stanlunablmacab8727 Covid doesn't kill? I know people who died of it.
@@broadwaygirl84 Never said Covid doesn't kill? It kills people 100% but only the ones that were unhealthy as hell to begin with.
Wow this was filled with so many subliminal jokes, it was truly incredible 😂😂
This recent SNL episode is one of the sharpest-written episodes I've seen in a long time
And the comments for this sketch are in the top whereas 90% of the newest comments as I write this give it thumbs down. TH-cam bias.
This was a brilliant work of reductio ad absurdum. Good job writers 😌

Yes they aced this, Tyler 😎
This is brilliant writing by SNL! Absolutely Brilliant.
I remembered how funny that opening crawl was, so i came back to rewatch it. That opening crawl is sooo goood!
Kate McKinnon gets me every time 😂
Was she one of the ones who left the show?

Don't get me wrong, this is hilarious but it's also kinda depressing that we still haven't learned anything in 800 years. There is nothing from this era to be proud about. Especially the hairdos.
imagine killing babies and calling it progress
Idk, those Benedictine Monks sure know how to attract the ladies. Lol! In all seriousness, though, it truly feels like we are heading in a reversal of the evolutionary process with regard to some of these people Stateside, some of them trying to drag us back to the Inquisitions and Witch Trials in one fell swoop.

Throwing left-handed children in the river lol
Yo Sam. Abortion was legal until male gynecologists in the latter half of the 1800s wanted to put midwives out of business. It was legal by law in the colonies in the 1600s and in the USA until the late 1800s to 1910.
Where did you get any of that information from? Anrotionwas made illegal by lawmakers that thought it was wrong to murder children and because that women were dying from the abortion poison they were being given. And how do you put midwives out of business? They're people that work in hospitals that help women get through the birthing process. How does given them more business put them out of business? And how do you run hospitals out of business?
So was owning another person who had the wrong color skin….are you going to justify slavery using the same logic?
@@LittleBunnyKungFoo Perfect.
@@LittleBunnyKungFoo This was obviously not his point. There are good and BAD laws. we are pointing at what bad constitutional law can lead to here. slavery has been banned.
@@solaraeterna6577 I was pointing out the fallacy in the logic of his point....
And you are correct, Slavery has been banned. It sounds like we are also on the way to banning the in utero killing of babies. Both are huge wins for protecting the voiceless.
If that doesn’t get the point across I really don’t know what will.
And TH-cam putting your comment in the top because you approve whilst everyone else against goes to the bottom.
