Thursday is “Cray Day” over at “The Nightly Show,” and host Larry Wilmore needed a little help from Fox News and friends to celebrate.

On the “cray” slate that day: Missouri State Rep. Rick Brattin’s (R) proposal that women should require “notarized consent” from the child’s father before being able to have an abortion.

“They have to get written permission? This is about women’s bodies, not a field trip to Six Flags,” he quipped. “I can’t imagine anyone who would agree with this, especially a man!”

Cue a clip from Fox News, featuring resident race hustler and men’s rights activist Dr. Keith Ablow.

“I’ve been outspoken on this,” Ablow said on Tuesday. “I think men should be able to veto women’s abortions if they’re willing to care for the child after it’s born.”

“Oh, Fox,” Wilmore sighed. “What is ‘Cray Day’ without you?”

Wilmore said the idea “doesn’t even deserve a response” and allowed Ablow’s remarks to sit in its their own juices for several seconds.

  1. Ablow needs a vasectomy starting at his head.

  2. They have pre-condition veto power, it’s called don’t inseminate women. If you can’t keep it in your pants, once it’s in my body, it’s mine. Period.
