    Last week, a leaked draft of a highly anticipated Supreme Court opinion appeared online. In it, reports the ACLU, the draft majority opinion, penned by Justice Samuel Alito, overturns the landmark Roe versus Wade decision.

    That decision “has been on the books for nearly 50 years and has ensured abortion is a protected federal constitutional right”.

    As things stand, this is still a draft opinion, and the actual Supreme Court decision is expected by the end of June.

    However, it’s still prudent to look at what would happen if (when) the Supreme Court officially releases that opinion, which Last Week Tonight with John Oliver did on Sunday.

    Below via Collider:

    The British-American comedian offers a sarcastic rebuttal to Alito’s argument that the right to abortion was not part of the constitutional guarantee of liberty and rights because the Founding Fathers — as the title suggests — were all men, meaning women’s rights weren’t exactly a priority at the time.

    Oliver makes clear, in more ways than one, that referring back to past centuries for the right way to deal with abortion rights is a strategy permeated with fallacies…

    In this episode, Oliver takes aim at both Republicans who have tried to decide for women what they should do with their bodies — or rather, shouldn’t — and Democrats, like President Barack Obama and President Bill Clinton, who did not take strong stances to “properly safeguard” the right to an abortion for fear of repercussion.

    There’s only one party trying to remove a woman’s right to choose, but there’s another that did very little to ensure that right would never be taken away.

    Also, it’s strange to see the “my body my choice” anti-maskers suddenly switch to “your body my rules” when it comes to abortions.

    If you can stomach it, off we go:
