In the sketch, which was was inspired by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Schumer says that the state has 'all the services, you may need.'
A comedy sketch promoting the wonders of Colorado — including access to safe, legal abortion services — will premiere on Oct. 20 as part of the new season of “Inside Amy Schumer,” Paramount+ announced over the weekend.
The “Colorado” sketch, as it’s officially called, has prompted feedback from industry partners and its other contacts at the Colorado Tourism Office, according to the state office’s communications manager. She declined to identify them, but said the office had not gotten public calls about the sketch.
The Colorado Tourism Office had not previously commented on the sketch, but said that they did not provide any information to Schumer’s team. The spokeswoman could not immediately confirm if the sketch’s roughly 35,000 views on YouTube have translated to any kind of bump in Colorado’s tourism visibility.
The sketch was inspired by the June 24 overturning of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld Mississippi’s ban on abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy and ended the federal constitutional right to abortion in the United States. The ruling opens the floodgates for states to outlaw abortion, according to Planned Parenthood and other women’s health organizations.
