It appears that Luke Skywalker wants you to fear the Joker. Mark Hamill, best known for his Star Wars role, took to Twitter over Independence Day weekend to mock pro-lifers who are willing to adopt babies of women who choose adoption over abortion. He used cartoon villains, one of which he does the voiceover for, to add to what is already an unnecessary, overwrought climate of fear being fueled by celebrities, politicians, and the media in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade. (The fictional Luke Skywalker and his sister Leia were both adopted.)
Speaking of celebrities, one tweeted from France after the Supreme Court decision, delighted that she was somewhere where women are supposedly free; perhaps she did not know that France has nationwide Mississippi-like limits on abortion. One news story reported that actress Debra Messing from Will and Grace had been on a White House call and was “fed up” with Joe Biden for not doing more to insist on abortions. We can assume that his executive order to have a volunteer army of lawyers ready to sue for abortions and scare people about red states coming for contraception was meant to win back Grace.
