Republican lawmakers and Utah politicos celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday, with one legislator saying she trusted Utah women “to control [their] intake of semen.”

Rep. Karianne Lisonbee described a text message she said she received urging her to hold men accountable for unwanted pregnancies.

“I got a text message today saying I should seek to control men’s ejaculations and not women’s pregnancies ... I do trust women enough to control when they allow a man to ejaculate inside of them and to control that intake of semen,” the Clearfield Republican told reporters at a news conference at the Utah Capitol on Friday.

Lisonbee also said she wanted to reassure Utahns that lawmakers want them to have justice after sexual assaults.

3. What she means is she "trust" women to do as they're told and men to do as they please.

[KentuckyWoman]

10. Agreed.

8. Is being ignorant a requirement for membership in the GQP?

[Nevilledog]

9. Yes. And greedy. And cruel.

11. Mormon GOP is a special version.

It isn't any better or worse than the talibornagains, just different. Even without the specific religious issues, there are generations of women raised to turn off any personal ideas or feelings. Men rule. Period.

13. Mandatory life sentencing for

rape and incest should be on the table now.

14. She should propose a maximum daily intake

[SergeStorms]

15. I think she's down a quart.

What an idiotic thing to say.

These people have no remaining functioning brain cells. That's what happens when you choose someone like Donald Trump to 'lead' your political party.

16. We must preserve our precious bodily fluids:

17. Ever hear of rape, lady (and I use the term loosely)?

And also that’s a pretty fucking stupid thing to say.

[Hav]

18. Repubs have some thoughts about that as well

Like their theories about legitimate rape and that women can shut it down. Back then, repubs lost elections for being this crazy. Now it's standard repub policy.

19. GOP 2022: Control your semen intake

How are the elections even close?

[Vinca]

20. Well, there's one way to control the "intake of semen." Shut 'em off. Rep. Lisonbee is a female

nut opining, but it seems the vast majority of anti-abortion dictators are men. Shut 'em off. If women only had sex when they wanted a child, laws might change back rather rapidly.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. The same thought process as this doozy that many of us recall 10 years ago from RW loon Todd Akin

[Brenda]

22. Religion has ruined this country

That's a damned fact. And I'm sick of having to qualify my statement with "not ALL religious people."

Because the root cause of all of our societal problems is patriarchal religions controlling large numbers of people and many of them have infiltrated our governments, school boards, corporations, health care systems, etc. at every level.

This is antithetical to a free democracy.
