      These sort of gimmicks/PR stunts come up once in a while. A state lawmaker, usually a woman, proposes a bill that would regulate men’s reproductive functions like how the men are controlling women’s bodies.

        Yeah it’s usually not meant to be a real thing they will do. Just be a jolt to try and drive home the way women’s bodies are controlled vs men’s. I have mixed feelings about it as a strategy.

        I’m less upset at the fact that people try and say insane stuff, and more at the popular support

        The dems are bought and paid for and they run out these absolutely disgusting dems in the midwest just to justify the republican’s hatred of them. I mean I hate this dude. This guy is not making this proposition because he thinks it will get him elected, he’s part of the ruling class plan to box the normal voters in.

        In short, they give the republicans a strawman to hate.

        But it’s not even close to the same. All it reveals is their stupidity and lack of a coherent argument.

          No worries, it looks super weird without context. Even as it is, it’s just a silly performance.
