Sam Bee offers sex ed lesson to the men behind the new abortion laws
Watch Next

As more states pass restrictive anti-abortion bills, with Alabama leading the way, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is here to put the men who pass these laws on blast.

In a scorching segment called "Sex Ed for Senators," Bee takes aim at the predominantly old white men in the states' legislatures who keep passing these laws and their complete lack of knowledge of, well, biology.

Besides laying down how these bills ignore everything about the actual science of pregnancy, Bee uses these ignorant lawmakers' own words against them to unfold a withering, and sadly obvious, point: these guys don't know what the hell they're talking about.

Bee's take is deservingly brutal, exposing how the (mostly male) leaders that are regulating women's health care access aren't only doing so in bad faith but in a cloud of woeful ignorance.
