Everything’s big in Texas! (Except for the amount of knowledge about healthcare or women’s bodies required to completely gut abortion access.)
Ahead of the biggest Supreme Court abortion case in decades, Samantha Bee’s Full Frontal on Monday night featured an interview with Texas state Rep. Dan Flynn (R), one of the architects of the Texas anti-abortion law that the justices will rule on.
And Bee showed that Flynn doesn’t know the basic facts about how an abortion is performed.
“I’m not a doctor, I don’t know,” Flynn said after that. “But I listened to many doctors tell me about the procedures that happen when you do an invasive surgery.”
Then Bee cut away to the infamous “Red Wedding” scene from Game of Thrones and said: “To be fair, Flynn grew up in ancient Westeros, where they did abortions the old-fashioned way.”
“You don’t seem to know anything specifically about abortion, really at all,” Bee countered.
It’s bonkers that the government is telling us what to do with our bodies yet you can tote an automatic weapon around Texas like a purse or some other accessory. Oh I’m sorry did I hit a nerve? Good. Maybe we should re-think both things.
