N. Carolina gov candidate Mark Robinson tells women to "get this under control" while pointing to groin

Mark Robinson tells women to get their groins 'under control' in bizarre anti-birth control rant

https://www.advocate.com/politics/mark-robinson-birth-control

According to Mark Robinson, the best forms of birth control and sex education are... none?

The Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina has gone viral yet again for his abhorrent comments — this time for remarks he made during a January 2022 appearance at Hilltop Baptist Church in Thomasville, N.C., in a video shared by Huffpost. Robinson mocked women's empowerment as well as educational programs that provide sex and contraception information.

“Why don’t you use some of that building up of your mind and building up of empowerment to move down here, to this region down here,” he said, gesturing to his crotch. “Get this under control.”


Robinson repeatedly disparaged sex education in his speech, as well as the availability of birth control, which includes even oral pills and condoms. The conservative has called for bans on reproductive health care, including a ban on abortion for "any reason," despite admitting he took his wife to get one early in their relationship.

“See, because this region right here, that’s the only region on your body that can make life and take life,” he continued. “If there’s anything we need to be telling our young people, it’s they need to be responsible with their reproductive systems. That means you don’t lay down and act like you’re making a baby til you’re ready to have a baby.”

But, let him keep flapping those gums. Like Uncle Tim Scott’s soul brother, I believe he will cause lots of conservatives, with at least a little brain matter, away. And if NC wins with Harris/Walz, game over.
But yes, if Mark keeps his hole shut like he insist women do…….we would not need to abort what is up in his hole.
