K.J. Yossman “The Late Late Show” host James Corden has voiced his “utter disgust and anger” at the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a reversal that has effectively dissolved the federal protection of abortion rights that has existed since 1973.
States will now be able to individually decide upon abortion rights, with many expected to ban them.Standing alone in front of the Houses of Parliament in London, the seat of British politics, Corden delivered an almost three-minute long monologue about the decision in the pre-recorded segment, which aired at the start of “The Late Late Show” on Monday night in the U.S. (the show will air one day behind in the U.K. on Sky Comedy).
Corden, who has three young children with his wife Julia Carey, is taping “The Late Late Show” from his hometown of London this week. Referring to the building behind him, Corden said: “Behind me, this is one of my favourite buildings in London, it’s the Houses of Parliament. It was here in 1967 that David Steel, a Member of Parliament, brought in a bill which legalized abortion in the U.K.
Now, if that was ever to change, it would take at least 326 elected officials to agree to such a thing. It would then take another 400 appointees in the House of Lords to vote on that bill before it could ever become law. So that’s nearly 800 people would all have to agree before the fundamental rights of half the population would be endangered in the United Kingdom.” “For the past eight years, I’ve been living, working and raising my young family in America,” Corden continued.
