Grothman doubles down...

[Archae]

Grothman has gone off the deep end...

Wisconsin state senator Glenn Grothman went on the Alan Colmes show on Friday to discuss a controversial new bill he authored that would require the state’s Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board to officially label single parenthood as “a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect.”

The bill was seen as a slap in the face to single parents in Wisconsin, who are raising 31 percent of children in the state.

Grothman told Colmes that the country’s out-of-wedlock birth rate is the “choice of the women,” who should be “educated that this is a mistake.” When Colmes countered with statistics about the high number of pregnancies that are unintended, Grothman said that many women are “trained” to lie and say that their planned pregnancies are actually unintended:

1. He thinks he's safely entrenched

in a dark, dark, RED DISTRICT...but like most districts, over half the voters are women who shouldn't take kindly to this....

He's waaaaaaaayyyyy off the deep end here folks...

[EC]

2. Worse part is

he's in a completely safe district...we'll never be rid of him.

[snacker]

3. You have my sympathy...

Grothman is evil and filled with hateful ideas.

4. Let's see now; single parenthood is child abuse , abortion and contraception

are immoral. Is there a disconnect here or is it just me?

5. and men have absolutely nothing to do with it....right?

6. The Republicans are "doubling down" period and this is going to lead to an all out blow back

from the people in this country that will be unprecedented. Grothman and his ilk are walking a very dangerous road.

7. What a self-righteous, patronizing asshole.

Can't he be "trained" to shut the hell up when he doesn't know what he's talking about?

8. If that were the case he would never utter a single syllable.

9. We can, and will, get rid of this asshat. We came close to forcing him to face a recall ....

... but came up a little short on signatures. This district is very, very red, but the antics of the Republicans in Wisconsin had alienated a whole lot of people before they declared war on women.

With women abandoning the Repubs, we can and will dump this blob of santorum.
