Comedian Jon Stewart on Thursday criticized the Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark Supreme Court decision that made abortion a constitutional right nationwide.
The Supreme Court is now "the Fox News of justice," he said on talk show, "The Problem with Jon Stewart."
"I mean, there is no consistency. States can't regulate guns, but they can regulate [uteruses], you know?" he continued.
He said the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade does not seem to be "based in any kind of reasoned debate or philosophical education."
The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade sparked protests nationwide. Since the decision was made public, a slew of prominent individuals from musician Jack White to lawmakers such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have blasted the ruling. Attorney General Merrick Garland condemned the court's decision, saying on Friday that it's a "devastating blow to reproductive freedom in the United States."
