An Alarming Number Of Men Honestly Believe 'Roe V. Wade' Is An MMA Fight In 'Jimmy Kimmel' Video—And Oof

With the reproductive freedom gained under Roe v Wade being threatened by the United States Supreme Court, one might assume the public is hyper aware of the 1973 ruling that extended reproductive rights across all states.

However, it turns out a surprising number of guys are disturbingly ignorant. A prank interview featured on Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live exposed the knowledge gap.


During the “Lie Witness News” segment on the program, multiple men believed Roe v Wade was a much-hyped MMA heavyweight fighting match.

When asked about the fictional face-off, the clueless interviewees seemed to comment mostly on Wade as their favorite contender.

"[Wade] doesn't care if he's gonna get knocked out. He just goes in, he's ruthless," said a supposed fan.

You can watch the clip of the interview taking place on the streets of Hollywood near where Kimmel films his program, here.

Another said he watched the high-profile fight with a woman who "wasn't as impressed" and was on her phone scrolling on Instagram.

And when asked to weigh in on whether or not the fight lived up to its nickname, “The Ruckus in the Uteruckus," the Wade fan said "definitely" and added, "They were into it, you know?"

The interviewer asked another clueless commenter:

"Were you surprised to see those two still going at it so many years later?"

The victim of the prank responded, "No, like, people hold grudges."


One gentleman was asked what women thought about Roe v Wade, and he replied:

“I don’t know. Women don’t really talk to me that much.”


The clip elicited spirited laughter from the show's viewing audience.

But in spite of the shenanigan, it's difficult to ignore the fact there are potentially many others among us who are in the dark about Roe v Wade and its potential reversal that would eliminate federal protections for women's reproductive rights.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
