Comedian Bill Maher used the opening monologue of Friday's Real Time to talk about the spate of new, highly restrictive anti-abortion laws being passed in states like Georgia, Alabama, and Missouri. He warned these states that they may end up driving younger women away, resulting in a"womb drain."
Describing what he saw as a contest between right-leaning states to see"who could be more hardcore on abortion," Maher listed off various legislative attempts to restrict a woman's right to the procedure, starting with an actual example and then spinning out into satire. He specifically mocked Alabama's law for not allowing an exception for abortions in cases of rape and incest, asking,"How else are you supposed to get pregnant in Alabama?"
"They have a hashtag now, #boycottAlabama, which is great if you're a purchaser of fried green tomatoes or meth," he opined. "Today I Googled companies based in Alabama and the largest one was Vulcan Materials, the largest producer of crushed stone. That's right, this is their high-tech sector: breaking rocks into smaller rocks."
