Benedict Cumberbatch and members of the “Saturday Night Live” cast showed their support for women’s rights and Roe v. Wade.
Much of the latest episode centered around the leaked draft ruling that reveals the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. After a cold open set in the Middle Ages which mocked the criminalization of abortions and its medieval origins, Cumberbatch closed out the show in a t-shirt with 1973 written in blue and red lettering, in reference to the year Roe v. Wade was first passed through the Supreme Court and made abortion legal on a national scale.
While standing on stage alongside musical guest Arcade Fire, the “Doctor Strange” actor made his closing remarks in the Social Goods t-shirt, which will donate $5 from every sale to The National Institute for Reproductive Health (NIRH). “SNL” cast members Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Chris Redd and Cecily Strong also wore the shirt to take an activist stand during the episode’s final moments.
