1. Top Republican Jim Banks should shut his fucking mouth.

[In It to Win It]

9. I want him to keep saying it. Apparently, it's not being heard by enough people

[ShazzieB]

43. And hops into whatever it wants to hop into!

[SouthernDem4ever]

53. His religion makes him tie it in a knot

or so he legislates like it does.

[Javaman]

2. Show me your paper! nt

[Irish_Dem]

25. Exactly. Make women have passes to travel.

To prove where they are going.

Or make them have a male relative take them everywhere.

[TheBlackAdder]

63. I think I saw something like that in the movies The Hunt for Red October & Firefox.

[Lunabell]

3. This is some really fucked up handmaid's shit.

I hate republicans.

[Jamastiene]

62. I do too.

They make me want to use one of their own tactics against them

...women who have been through DV, trigger warning, you might not want to read this next part...

Republicans make me wish bad things on them, so I can say, "See what you made me do?"

I want them to go through the torture and salt in the wounds after that they put us through.

[Trailrider1951]

4. It makes me SO ANGRY to hear these GODDAMN men talk about

what they think women should not be "allowed" to do.

54. Me too!

[orleans]

83. same here nt

[electric_blue68]

91. No joke! 🤬 🤬🤬

[First Speaker]

14. I disagree with what you have to say regarding Banks...

...but I'll defend to the death your right to say it...

[keithbvadu2]

6. Pay snitches $10,000, like Texas, to report them?

[JHB]

7. "Show your papers. Now." The Sovietization of the Republican party continues.

[Duppers]

26. Indeed! 👍

[pandr32]

8. I know! Don't let women drive.

While you're at it, make them have a husband, father, brother, uncle, etc. be responsible for them and don't let them in public without a male escort. In fact, make them wear tents like the Taliban do.

[Deuxcents]

13. I was thinking just that..

[Diamond_Dog]

58. Someone else a while ago

On here said American men like to see scantily clad women. So, shorts and halter tops would be required until age 50 then after that women age 51 plus will be required to wear burkas.

So true, I thought

[Irish_Dem]

73. Yep. American men like skin, so no burkas here. Mandatory bikinis for all women under 50.

[pandr32]

93. They would have to have access to those under 50 women

...and of course control over them. Guns will help to keep other men at bay and to put down wandering women. Maybe it's been a plan all along.

[Captain Zero]

10. Restrict car ownership of women 16-50?

Put electronics in car seats to sense pregnancy hormones?

[70sEraVet]

22. I was thinking more in the line of Pregnancy Camps.

Just so we can keep an eye on you sneaky women!

[Rebl2]

24. Don't give

them ideas, though they probably have already thought about it.

[Irish_Dem]

35. 100% certain they have more demonic ideas than we will ever come up with.

[Irish_Dem]

34. Put a pregnancy guard on all cars. You have to pee in a cup before you get in the car.

If you are pregnant the car doesn't unlock.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Sexism and ageism together

He doesn't care about old ladies. He only wants to control young women. He doesn't care about stopping men's health care. So he's targeting a specific group only. He really is way out there.

[Irish_Dem]

36. I think it is his sexual fantasy. Young women in cars.

The more these men run their mouths the more we learn.

[bucolic_frolic]

86. lol, really? "Taxi Driver" or "A Party Gone Wrong"?

Hope he steps in a "Trap Door"!

[Irish_Dem]

90. Street hookers hop in and out of cars.

That's shown in a lot of movies.

Those DC hookers earn every penny.

[ShazzieB]

55. He doesn't care about us old ladies because he knows he won't be getting one of us pregnant! 🤣

We're too old to get pregnant, and we're not his type (i.e., young), anyway.

This kind of stuff (wanting to control what happens in the whole country instead of just in your own state) is incredibly offensive, repugnant, and just plain WRONG afaic.

If you're on your state legislature, that means you get to help make laws for YOUR state, period. You do NOT get to decide what's legal anywhere else, you do NOT get to dictate what residents of your state are allowed to do when they visit another state with different laws, and you REALLY don't get to control which residents of your state are allowed to leave your state to visit a state with different laws. If the idea that you should be able to do any of those things even crosses your mind, SHAME ON YOU.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. Do your part Banks

Castrate yourself so you won't impregnate any women.

[Rebl2]

20. Sounds good to me

[area51]

31. +1 n/t

[DENVERPOPS]

45. I know a lot of women

that if he said that to their faces, would volunteer him for emasculation because they would feel that castration was not near enough......

Ever notice that these Male Republican Politicians talk big when with other Republican men, but not so much when they are around Dem Men. Even more Remarkable is that they say these things in front of Female Republicans who agree with every sexist comment they make.......True Handmaidens I guess....one and all...........

As first in on medical calls for a domestic battering, as a firefighter/EMT, I often commented that it amazed me that the male batterer was always long gone by the time four of us arrived on scene.........

[Meadowoak]

49. Republicans think that laws won't apply to them.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Yeah, tell 'young ladies' they're not allowed to travel. The American Taliban has spoken.

[rubbersole]

16. The fact that saying that in public...

..improves his standing with the contemporary repubs is beyond fucked up. Every female, regardless of age, should be enraged. I'm sure most are. This should be a campaign ad now.

[mahina]

17. They have lost their damn minds. Now to make them lose elections.

At scale and forever.

[Funtatlaguy]

18. Gilead is coming for you.

[IbogaProject]

19. Time to ban Viagra

After all we don't want any old men getting tempted and causing any unwanted pregnancies. Time for these "right to lifers" to require draconian punishment to any man causing any 'unwanted' conceptions. Either you're all in on preventing conception or you're just making noise.

[Rebl2]

23. Yes

[Duppers]

70. Good idea. Give these old men food for thought.

[Irish_Dem]

21. Don't let women travel by car. Keep them at home.

Don't let them work or go to school.
So need to drive.

[ShazzieB]

59. Better keep them off of airplanes, trains, and busses, too!

And let's not forget water transport, including ferryboats. If you let a woman board any kind of public conveyance, there's no telling where she might end up!

Bridges are problematic, too, especially the ones that cross a river into another state. There's no telling, for example, how many bridges there are that cross the Mississippi River from Iowa and Missouri into the abortion mecca known as Illinois!

[Irish_Dem]

66. Yes there is no other answer. Women will have to be prohibited from any form of transportation.

I don't think they should even be allowed to walk, skip or jump.

Once you start letting women hop around, they are only going to be up to no good.

[kimbutgar]

28. I always want to ask these pricks what would you do if your daughter was raped by a black or brown

Man and ended up pregnant? Would you be ok with your daughter having that black or brown baby produced via rape?

[Mr. Evil]

48. There you go...

saying the quiet part out loud. You know damned good and well if it actually happened that they would get the extra special treatment for that stomach ulcer or intestinal blockage their princess had. Pose that question in a public arena and they'll tell you it would be a blessing to raise it and a show of god's love. *cough* *snort* *puke*

I never understood that if god needs a new baby so damn bad, why doesn't it just pair up the cute, ambitious young woman with an equally nice young man? Lots of WANTED babies possibly. Instead, god has the young woman brutally beaten and gang raped just to get another baby in this world.

I wrestled with this question many years ago and it was one of numerous reasons I became an atheist.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

30. one of them finally said it outload. From informal stuff online, the anti choice nuts realize they

some big barriers to overcome

1. Women traveling between states
2. abortion clinics in blue state
3. Abortion pills.
4. They also now realize that most of America is pro choice

[KentuckyWoman]

32. That post is probably a lie.

The "for care" part is unnecessary. I doubt Jim Banks wants women to be able to travel at all without husband, dad or brother to make the decisions.

There's a reason so many people refer to them as the "Talibornagains"

[Freethinker65]

37. Banks is the ass agreeing with the interviewer's statement, correct?

Still misogynistic and abhorrent, but Banks didn't make the initial statement.
I hope someone follows up on how Banks proposes to legislate taking away "young ladies" rights to travel out of State.

[Picaro]

39. Completely fascist

Why do men like this idiot hate women so much?

[dchill]

40. What makes him a "top?"

[Meadowoak]

50. No doubt, he probably likes to take it up the butt.

[cilla4progress]

41. Welcome to

MAGASTAN

[world wide wally]

42. Looks like they are getting around to banning travel in the US by Americans

[Irish_Dem]

71. No it is only women who can not travel.

Men can hop around all they want.

[moondust]

44. Go join the Taliban, Jim.

You can be Jim TaliBanks.

[Norbert]

46. The next step is, women will not be able to drive until they reach menopause

[leftyladyfrommo]

47. These assholes are monsters. nt

[ancianita]

51. Yeah pass a law that assigns "minders" to women of reproductive age. All women drivers pulled

over at state lines to be interrogated and pregnancy tested.

[pansypoo53219]

52. but FREEDUMB!!!! just not for gyrlz!!!

who needs a cramp/birth simulator.

[Meadowoak]

56. What will they do when all the women in red states move

To blue states?

[Irish_Dem]

72. Another reason to keep women out of cars.

[FloridaBlues]

57. And yet woman still vote to keep people like him in office

[Bettie]

60. Fuck Him and everyone who thinks

like he does.

Women's lives matter. Women's choices matter.

Women sure as hell don't need right wing white men to make decisions for them.

Assholes. Every last one of them.

[OMGWTF]

61. JFC -- no words.

[mjvpi]

64. Fuck cryptocurrency. The future is carbon fiber chastity belts with encrypted locks.

[Irish_Dem]

67. The chastity belts need to go on the men.

[3catwoman3]

65. Representative Banks can fuck right off.

Or move to the Middle East. He would fit right in there.

[niyad]

68. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

[Hekate]

76. May they indeed

[JohnnyRingo]

69. Border checkpoints in Indiana.

That should make sure people aren't coming or going to better states like refugees

[roamer65]

78. I'm sure he hates Michigan.

That damn socialist state to the north!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

84. when abortion was still illegal in Ireland, anti choice nuts rode the ferries, harassing young women

riding the ferry to the UK. women took the ferries to uK for abortions, where it was legal, so any young woman was fair game for harassment...the same as they harass women entering reproductive clinics. I see the same thing happening.

Many groups are paying for low income women to fly in for abortions, expect anti choice nuts to watch the airports....but it's gonna by hard for them to cover so much territory.

Hence their great desire for nationwide ban.

[eppur_se_muova]

74. Next, gov't mandated chastity belts ? nt

[Hekate]

75. A visual reminder of the mindset we are dealing with...

[milestogo]

77. Ankle monitors for all women of reproductive age.

[roamer65]

79. Once the women get to Michigan we can cut them off and throw them at the IN border Nazis.

Fuck IN and OH.

[roamer65]

81. From the Great State of Michigan, FUCK YOU Banks!

[meadowlander]

82. The party of small government in action.

[Blue Owl]

85. This dickshine can go FUCK OFF

[Emile]

87. Fascists have no shame!

[AngryOldDem]

88. I'm probably going to vote in the GOP primary

Precisely to keep people like him OUT.

Cannot stand him.

[MissMillie]

89. doing the Macarena? (n/t)

.

[DBoon]

92. For those who do not want to give Elon Musk's Twitter any click's

Holy shit. Top Republican Jim Banks just indicated he wants to find a way to stop “young ladies” from “hopping in a car” to travel to another state for reproductive care. He agreed the fact that women can travel for care means “the fight is far from over.”
