Benedict Cumberbatch and many “Saturday Night Live” stars took a political position at the end of a new weekend episode.

As the host of this week’s “SNL,” Cumberbatch led the cast and musical guests Arcade Fire and good night on stage.

However, the “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” star has leaked the Supreme Court, which could overturn the Roe v. Wade case and endanger women’s abortion and reproductive rights. Quietly confronted the ongoing political debate over the draft decision.

Cumberbatch and cast members Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Chris Red and Cecily Strong all wore white T-shirts in blue and red on the front in 1973. I rocked it. This number is important as the year of the Roe v. Wade decision, which was inherited on January 22, 1973.

Thank you, with Benedict Cumberbatch @ Arcade fire!! good night! pic.twitter.com/dRhyG1m4b0

I absolutely love watching the cast @nbcsnl & Benedict Cumberbatch wears a 1973 T-shirt to support the Roe v. Wade case.

Cumberbatch also appeared in the episode’s “Cold Open” sketch. It is rarely attended by night moderators, but ridicules the Supreme Court’s draft Samuel Alito decision, citing 13th-century English law as part of its reason.

The sketch was set in England in the 1200s. It seems that the educated woman was considered a witch and the door had not yet been invented. Cumberbatch and other male lawmakers used outdated logic and bad science to invent laws that had little impact on politics. 1000 years later.
