Far right election denier and abusive husband Arizona state Senator Sonny Borrelli responded Thursday to Dem Governor Katie Hobbs’s call for the state legislature to pass a law protecting the right to birth control by telling the Arizona Mirror that “Bayer Company invented aspirin.”
No, he’s not that stupid to think taking aspirin works as a contraceptive. He is however the kind of piece of shit who would say – apparently to a female reporter no less – to “Put it between your knees,” as in “keep your legs closed,” adding Dems are “creating a controversy that doesn’t exist because nobody’s opposing – nobody has any kind of plan to ban any contraceptives,” and “Not in this legislature, not this term, not this session,” would any Republicans try to ban them.
Which means that as long as there’s a Dem governor and the Republicans are short of a supermajority, which they are currently, they won’t ban birth control. Which is why he doesn’t want to move to protect it now because they may get the chance to ban them in the future.
