Oliver showed video of a woman who, at six weeks and one day pregnant, was told she was not able to get an abortion in the state of Texas. The woman said her birth control had failed her and she was already raising two kids by herself and not ready to have another child.
“Six weeks and a day, and she can’t get an abortion,” he said. “For most people, that is a period that’s two weeks late, and your period can be two weeks late for any number of reasons.
Oliver argued that while conservatives for decades have been working to overturn the case, he said Democrat leaders have not been aggressive in standing up for abortion rights. He cited that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as two examples, noting the latter ran for president on a platform that included his support of the Freedom of Choice Act, which would make the right to abortion into law.
Oliver called for elected officials to “stop tiptoeing around the issue of abortion and take steps to properly safeguard it. The dream version of this would be a constitutional amendment that would support people’s fundamental rights to make personal decisions about contraception, pregnancy, marriage and family life. But until then, we’re going to need other legislation at the state and federal level.
