After Monday’s Supreme Court decision striking down abortion clinic regulations in Texas, it didn’t take long for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” to reflect the abortion industry’s true colors in a vile, despicable tweet.

Celebrate the #SCOTUS ruling! Go knock someone up in Texas!

— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) June 27, 2016

Soon, people from all sides of the debate were blasting the insensitive tweet:

.@TheDailyShow This tweet is so vile.

From someone who was a guest on your show (and treated fairly): This was in exceptionally poor taste.

— thucksgiving (@TylerHuckabee) June 27, 2016

After all the negative backlash, whoever takes care of the Daily Show’s Twitter account posted this:

Friends, we’re certainly not promoting abortions. Just excited about #SCOTUS reaffirming right to choose.

— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) June 27, 2016

To which Tech Insider’s Dave Smith responded:
