I am willing to bet that these legislators already have drafts of laws to further restrict women, making it illegal for them to hold many kinds of jobs, have personal credit and banking, etc. They can pass whatever laws they like, you know, there is nothing to restrain them. They're already talking about taking away a woman's right to vote.
Sure, then these laws will go to the Courts and be overturned, but that is a multi-year process during which many will suffer, which IMO is the point of the exercise.
