"I will be here all week long, or at least until Republicans make it illegal for women to talk," Chelsea Handler said, filling in for the vacationing Jimmy Kimmel.
The veteran late-night host was a welcome female voice in the conversation on this first full night of new shows after the landmark ruling, and another reminder that there's too much testosterone in late-night.
"Jimmy is off right now doing whatever the f--- he wants with his body," Handler continued, noting at one point, "At this point, I’d probably have more rights if my vagina was an AR-15."
She also took issue with the fact that Trump was able to appoint three pro-life Justices on the Supreme Court, setting the stage for what feels like an inevitable next step.
"It’s especially upsetting when you think about how we got here," she said. "Three of the Justices who supported the ruling were appointed by a man with over a dozen sexual assault allegations, who lost the popular vote twice, was impeached twice, and attempted a coup because he’s a little fat big baby loser."
She then showed a clip of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy talking about how the GOP mission would be to save as many lives as possible through actions just like this should Republicans take the House and make him Majority Leader.
"Just so long as that life doesn’t need baby formula, affordable health care or a place to learn without getting shot," Handler shot back.
She then opened up a little about her own experiences, with it, sharing that she'd had three abortions when she was in high school. "And if that sounds too extreme, let’s pretend I had two," she joked.
Handler said that she was "responsible enough to know that we don’t need any more pothead, molly-loving, alcoholics running around topless," before ending her monologue with a series of proposed laws to control men's bodies.
