In a sketch that starts off as a spoof of pharmaceutical commercials, the feminist humorist highlights just how many hoops conservatives expect women to jump through (including going all the way to the Supreme Court) in order to exercise their reproductive rights.

The clip ends with a pharmacist giving a young boy a gun and then telling him: “Remember, that’s your right.” Watch the depressingly spot-on clip, below.
