Tina Fey called Republican congressman Todd Akin out Wednesday night when she spoke at the Center for Reproductive Rights' Inaugural Gala in New York.
Fey was among those to sign a Bill of Reproductive Rights to support the Center's new Draw the Line campaign to help fight for women's rights.
When she took the stage at Lincoln Center, she made it a point to address Akin's remark from August suggesting victims of "legitimate rape" aren't at risk for pregnancy.
“I wish we could have an honest and respectful dialogue about these complicated issues, but it seems like we can’t right now,” said Tina Fey. “And if I have to listen to one more grey-faced man with a $2 haircut explain to me what rape is, I’m going to lose my mind.”
The comedian was among stars Stanley Tucci, Janeane Garofalo, and Jill Flint to attend the event supporting reproductive rights.
The event raised more than $1.2 million for the center.
