The Daily Show, like many other organizations and people on the Internet, wanted to celebrate Monday's Supreme Court decision to strike down a Texas law that would likely have shuttered many of the state's abortion clinics.
But the way they chose to celebrate came off, to many, like a terrible wedding toast.*

Many felt the tweet made light of abortion.*
Others also saw the tweet as directed at men on a day they felt should celebrate women.
The show's account later tweeted an apology.
