Three Toes : "If you don't want to become pregnant right now, choose to not have sex."

[867-5309.]

U.S. Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has told women that if they do not want to get pregnant they should stay celibate, at an anti-abortion speech she posted on Twitter on Tuesday.

Addressing onlookers, Greene, who is a representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district, said: "Women need to make better choices. If we want to be women who make choices, here's one thing you can choose. If you don't want to become pregnant right now, choose to not have sex.

"You can always abstain."...

That's a lot of what this is about for the anti-choice crowd. They think unmarried women shouldn't be having sex

[Freddie]

1. They advocate for celibacy in marriage too

Why do they think married women want 10 kids?

[TheBlackAdder]

32. Time for a National Child Support Act-garnishing wages from either payroll or any financial asset.

[Emile]

2. She feel the same towards victims of rape too?

[tanyev]

3. Also, choose not to get raped.

[jmbar2]

4. Why not the men?

[sarchasm]

21. bingo!

I don't believe anyone should be regulated but ... “If a woman has sex with 100 random men in a year, she can only produce one full term pregnancy. If a guy has sex with 100 random women in a year, he can produce 100 full term pregnancies. So why exactly are we only talking about regulating women?”

[IronLionZion]

26. Madison Cawthorn doesn't have this problem

[Walleye]

5. So is Marjorie trying to tell us she has been celibate?

When I see the way she turned out I’m glad I didn’t have children. Plus I’m glad I didn’t bring any into the world populated by these types. I will just go home to my cats in my microwave. Of course I will be criticized for that too

[867-5309.]

14. "When I see the way she turned out I'm glad I didn't have children."

[2naSalit]

6. She had best be cautious.

She might get beat up some day.

[lark]

7. What's she's saying is a total lie and deflection.

R's want women to have sex and lots of it so they get pregnant and have babies that will not get educated, will work for pennies, have no healthcare and no protection and get sick or injured and die young. That's what repugs want - everything for rich straight white males, nothing for anyone else. They want to shame women by saying don't have sex so that sets up conflict with men where women are pressured to have sex, then scorned and abandonned when they get pregnant - because of course men had nothing to do with it.

8. If you're dumb as a suitcase of rocks on a plane, and don't want to appear so, choose not to speak

[MineralMan]

9. Back to the 50s? Uh, no thanks!

Piss off, Maggie!

[ZenDem]

10. If only...

...her parents had chosen abstinence.
Where's a time machine when you need one?

[Carlitos Brigante]

11. Well, that's easy for her husband to do. But seriously, keep your government hooves

out of other people's sex life.

[hamsterjill]

12. Thread winner!!!

Thank you for the laugh!

[Carlitos Brigante]

13. .

[treestar]

15. Interesting that she chooses to direct that at women

and not at both women and men.

[Walleye]

17. Well I guess it's because she thinks God designed men to be assholes

And if it wasn’t God who made all these horrible people in our midst, who was it?

[sarcasmo]

16. Hooves will cause chaos every day she is in Congress.

[intheflow]

18. Ah, MTG is grooming the public for when contraception for single women is ruled illegal.

I honestly don't think they think these things through. But then, they don't have to as they can bet their constituents won't think through this shit themselves.

[milestogo]

20. They will probably make menopause illegal too.

[sarisataka]

19. Not going there...

[Aristus]

22. She didn't mention rape or incest.

Because in her neck o' th' holler, those are synonyms for sex.

[Kaleva]

23. What does she think of anal and oral sex?

[Hekate]

24. But but but a rape baby is a gift from gawd, and rape's not a choice is it?

Have I mentioned today how much I hate these people?

[area51]

25. The sociopath who can't stay faithful to her husband sez what? n/t

[Probatim]

35. I came here for this - and am surprised it took 25 responses.

She needs to STFU and quickly.

[MissMillie]

27. her argument deflects from the main point

which is, of course, autonomy versus government over-reach

[Tickle]

28. did birth control change?

I'm one of the old ladies that remembers life before Roe. My roommate and myself were on the pill and I never thought about getting pregnant . The pill was 99.9% protection . It cost $9.99 a month and I don't know why I remember that.

I keep hearing people say stop having sex. Why would a young woman stop having sex when there's birth control? Unless of course something happened to birth control that I'm not aware of

[MissMillie]

29. No birth control is 100% effective

and the pill is not indicated for some women (high blood pressure)

[qwlauren35]

34. I tried the Pill

It made me suicidal. I remember trying to jump out a window. My partner flushed my pills down the toilet and from then on we used condoms.

[LudwigPastorius]

30. If only her momma hadn't had sex...

[Grins]

31. So when Marge had two adulterous affairs...

…she wanted to become pregnant?

[Irish_Dem]

33. Some men get angry/violent when women refuse sex.

So MTG is putting women in harm's way once again.

[BlackSkimmer]

36. Any woman with a man in their life who acts that way needs to get the fuck out.

Period.

[Irish_Dem]

39. Without reproductive freedom, women are once again stuck.

Women who cannot use birth control, or have access to abortions are back to the old days. Women had a hard time getting an education or training because they had children to take care of.

They had limited access then to good jobs to support themselves or children.

And if they are having children every year like in the old days, it is hard to leave an abusive marriage. Back in the day, women were stuck in bad marriages for this reason.

Modern women were able to leave, they had options.

Take away women's options, they are stuck.

With a reliable and safe birth control method, and access to legal abortions, women had a freedom that was unparalleled in human history.

[Kaleva]

37. And some women get very angry when men refuse sex

[Demovictory9]

40. and they think married women should accept all pregnancies
