[Tx4obama]

State Senator Glenn Grothman’s bill reads, in part:

Section 2. 48.982 (2) (g) 4. of the statutes is amended to read:
48.982 (2) (g) 4. Disseminate information about the problems of and methods of preventing child abuse and neglect to the public and to organizations concerned with those problems. In disseminating that information, the board shall emphasize nonmarital parenthood as a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect.

1. I hope Maddow sees this. This is overreach.

[salin]

6. any day a new medical condition will be discovered for current GOP... "distended arm"

the cause... the race to further over-reach the most recent extremist GOP office holder who tried to push the envelop of decency to its outer bounds.

[Crunchy Frog]

2. Thank God I don't live in Wisconsin.

I became a single mother on purpose. They'd probably send me to the electric chair.

[mysuzuki2]

3. Does this mean that because my wife left and I became the single parent of an 8 year old daughter

and because I raised a grandson by myself that I am a child abuser? Fuck him and the ASS he rode in on!

[Ikonoklast]

16. As the sole custodial parent of three minor children after my divorce, I say,

mysuzuki speaks for me.

[Angry Dragon]

4. So if you get divorced and have children they can charge you with

child abuse now

Didn't Hopper have some kids, took up with the girl,
charge him first..........

[Lefta Dissenter]

5. That's Grothman for ya'

And during the public hearing today, whenever someone was testifying against his bill, he wandered out of the room, so he didn't have to listen. Par for the course for him, but still offensive and heartbreaking.

[Old and In the Way]

7. The hits just keep on coming.

At some point, they'll have to start fixing the economic problems instead of creating social problems for non-existent issues. It's all about distracting the voter from their gross incompetence and inability to govern.

[IndyJones]

8. It almost seems like they are trying to lose in November, doesn't it?

Piss women off, piss single parents off...

Wow, you'd almost think it was fiction if you didn't see it with your own eyes.

[leftynyc]

9. Let's ask Sarah Palin

how she feels about this law. Her precious daughter - a child abuser.

[DFW]

10. That's the difference between Republicans and us

They see theoretical situations they know nothing about as child abuse.

We see the actual abusing of children as child abuse. You know, things Republicans don't object to,
such as denying children adequate nutrition, affection, education, medical care, or protection from
predatory clergymen, bullies, beatings and forced labor.

[Scuba]

11. Yuck, this sad loser claims to represent me. Not.

[Arger68]

12. We're sorry, Mrs. X, but your husband was just killed in a car accident.

Since you're now a single parent, we must assume you are a child abuser and must confiscate your children. It's for their own good you know.

[Arkana]

13. We've known Grothman was a motherfucker

since the original days of Fitzwalkerstan.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. Yikes!!!!

[Lil Missy]

15. Then single women have no choice but to get abortions. Wait ....wut?
