Rory Leishman: Dr. Warren Hern is a cold-hearted killer—the moral equivalent of a hired assassin—who has no compunction about aborting even the healthy baby of a healthy mother during the last stages of a pregnancy simply because the mother has decided that she no longer wants her child to live. In this respect, Hern stands virtually alone. Only a tiny minority of [...]

Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey The death of Roe v. Wade was a death for women and progress, but you can’t say it didn’t birth some amazing comedy—from Andrew Schulz, Chris Rock, Bill Burr, and others.
