Kimmel Hands Monologue Over to His Wife to Urge Support for Abortion Rights in Midterms (Video)

“Our daughters should not have to fight the battles that our grandmothers won,” co-head writer Molly McNearney says

During his monologue on Monday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel handed the reins over to his wife, the show’s co-head writer Molly McNearney, for a commentary urging people to vote for candidates that support abortion rights during the midterms.

The remarks came around 7 minutes in, when McNearney interrupted Kimmel’s jokes using a large red alarm. After some brief banter, she began.

“Tomorrow is election day, and abortion rights are gone or endangered in 26 states, even thought the majority of people in this country supports a woman’s right to choose. Let me ask you something: Every time you have sex, is your intention to have a baby?” she began.
