Monday’s Supreme Court ruling safeguarding abortion rights was a major victory, finding that Texas was imposing a substantial and undue burden on both abortion providers and people seeking safe and legal abortion care. And what better way to celebrate than a winky tweet about all the people you’re gonna go jizz into?

That was, anyway, the evident logic over at The Daily Show, where somebody tweeted this:

Fuck yeah, dude! Love 2 knock people up now that the Supreme Court ruled I don’t have to wear a condom or whatever! [Chest bumps, synchronized guzzling of Monster/Jäger blend, insistence that you’ve definitely had sex before, hope that no one will see your painful, crushing loneliness and excruciating self-consciousness, jerk off, sob.]

People from across the political spectrum responded, uh, negatively:

And so someone who gets paid a salary to do social tried again:

Still wrong! But can’t wait to see your next pass at this, guys!
