Saturday night live second execution before the Supreme Court’s reported plans to overturn Roe v. Wade in this week’s “Weekend Update”—and although the show’s chilling opening on the subject is a bit overwhelming, Kate McKinnon’s Amy Coney Barrett steals the show in its sequel-direction. go up.
“Good evening, everyone,” Colin Jost said at the beginning of the segment. “Well, guys, tomorrow is Mother’s Day, whether you want it to be one or not.” On the subject of the leak — which he points out could “cause lasting damage to the Supreme Court” —Jost added, “Courts are usually careful, but they were negligent…and now they have to live with it forever. It really doesn’t sound fair.”

And then there’s McKinnon’s Amy Coney Barrett with all her cheers. She stressed that the prospect of losing abortion rights is not so bad. One of her questions in the reported oral debates focused on the possibility that safe haven laws – protecting new parents and guardians from legal invocation for self-harm. Voluntary relinquishment of the infant – may alleviate the loss of the right to abortion.

“You are a murderer if you have an abortion, but you are not a murderer if you put a baby in a pocket in the mailbox,” McKinnon said. “That tracks and works for me… I have seven kids and a job and I make it work, so why can’t every other woman do the same but me — unless I Something is missing about the American classroom. Don’t answer like that”.
