'Saturday Night Live' goes medieval on Supreme Court's leaked draft opinion on abortion
Fox News
"Saturday Night Live" took on the Supreme Court's leaked draft that would overturn Roe v. Wade this weekend.
"The eminent common-law authorities all describe abortion after quickening as criminal," Alito wrote in his opinion. "Henry de Bracton's 13th-century treatise explained that if a person has 'struck a pregnant woman, or has given her poison, whereby he has caused an abortion, if the fetus be already formed and animated – and particularly if it be animated – he commits homicide.'"
Instead of impersonating current political figures like in most cold opens, the sketch show traveled back to the 13th century to visualize Alito’s historical reference, which it sarcastically called a "moment of clarity, almost a thousand years ago, which laid such a clear foundation for what our laws should be in 2022."
