Last Week Tonight show.Last week, the draft decision was made public – though draft opinions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, so the court’s decision is not final. However, if the overturning goes through, it would make the legality of abortion in the US the decision of each individual state, and not federal law.During last night’s (May 8) edition of his show, Oliver noted data that showed 25 per cent of women have had an abortion, six in 10 of who are already mothers.The presenter said: “Some who get abortions are survivors of rape or incest, others might need one for medical reasons, but also just to be clear, some will be seeking an abortion because they fucking want one, and this is very much about them, too.
