Roe v. Wade Overturn
- The Supreme Court appears poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion.
- Over 20 states are prepared to immediately ban abortion if this occurs.
Alito's Argument
- Justice Alito's draft opinion argues that abortion rights are not "deeply rooted" in US history and tradition.
- This reasoning could threaten other rights based on privacy, like contraception or gay marriage.
Credit Card Analogy
- Trevor Noah points out the irony of the Supreme Court's logic by comparing it to women's right to credit cards.
- Women gained this right only after Roe v. Wade, highlighting the shifting historical context of rights.
