I’m going to write a bill to make it illegal for men to masturbate. How about that?

Calling the news “upsetting,” Haddish also tells how the ruling will create “more suffering.”
“If you’re going to make it illegal for me to make choices with my body, then it should be illegal for you to masturbate because you killing people when you do that,” she shares.
“Every time you jack off, that’s, what? A billion people dead. No chance to live. I’m just saying,” the actress continues. “You touch yourself; you a murderer.”
A significant Supreme Court ruling from 1973 called Roe v. Wade gave women nationwide access to abortion rights.
By overturning nearly 50 years of precedent and granting individual states the authority to determine whether to permit the procedure, the Supreme Court’s 6-to-3 decision would fundamentally alter the landscape of women’s reproductive rights. In the upcoming months, it is predicted that close to half of the nation would enact near-total restrictions.
The Grammy Award-winning comedian shared her desire to have children during a speech at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, noting that she hopes to do so through adoption.
“As a black woman, trying to adopt a white baby, it’s hard out here. They won’t let you. They let white people adopt black babies, Asian babies, Mexican babies, but they don’t let black people do that. Why is that? Come on, people,” Tiffany Haddish shares.
“But it’s actually a joke, but that is a real topic we should be discussing out here on the streets, why you can’t like interracially adopt when you’re… That’s a whole other situation,” she explains. “Anyways, once I finish these two, I got two more movies to do and then I’ll adopt.”
“Because I want to be present,” Tiffany Haddish adds. “If I’m going to be a parent, I want to be a present parent.”
