American radio personality, Howard Stern believes those who are wanting to ban abortion in the US should be responsible for raising the unwanted children.
Taking to his show on SiriusXM radio, Stern blasted the Supreme Court Justices who were looking to reverse the Roe v Wade decision that allowed abortion to be legal on a federal level across the US.
Politico reported on a leaked draft from the Supreme Court earlier this week that indicated the Supreme Court had voted to overturn Roe v Wade.
If the overturn is made, that would mean 26 US states could immediately ban abortion or greatly restrict it.

Stern defended abortion rights on his radio show, suggesting that any babies born as a result of an unwanted pregnancy should be ‘allowed to live at the Supreme Court Building with those justices’.
He said: “You know if guys got raped and pregnant, there'd be abortions available on every corner.
“Every street corner you'd have a different clinic that would take care of the problem."
Stern went on to say: “If men got pregnant, it would be a different story. No man would want to be raped and then have to carry his rapist's baby.
“Men were ready to tear this country down because we asked them to wear a mask, let alone have some baby they don't want."
Stern criticised the electoral college system for favouring a minority viewpoint, saying that the country is being run by a select group of men.
The radio show presenter implored the Supreme Court justices, and in particular associate justice Clarence Thomas, to be responsible for raising the children if the decision was to be overturned.
He said: “All the unwanted children should be allowed to live at the Supreme Court building with those justices — and they should raise every one of those babies.
“That crackpot Clarence Thomas and that wife and all of them. They can raise those babies that they want."
Chief Justice John Roberts has called for an investigation into the leak and noted that the ruling did not represent the court’s final decision.
Many are worried that if this decision is overturned it could lead to significant attacks on other modern-societal standards.
Stern expressed concern that gay marriage would be targeted next, saying: “All the inroads and all the progress that was been made will be gone."
United States President Joe Biden also raised worries over the ‘next things that are going to be attacked’ while speaking to reporters on Tuesday (May 3).
He said: “What happens if you have states change the law saying that children who are LGBTQ can't be in classrooms with other children. Is that legit under the way the decision is written?"
