Wisconsin Lawmaker Says Women Should Stay in Abusive Marriages

[Bastet]

In Wisconsin -- yes, the same state where lawmakers have introduced a bill penalizing single mothers for being unmarried -- a Republican state representative has come out against divorce for any reason -- even domestic abuse.

Instead of leaving an abusive situation, women should try to remember the things they love about their husbands, Representative Don Pridemore said. "If they can re-find those reasons and get back to why they got married in the first place it might help," he told a local news station.

Pridemore -- who, coincidentally, is a co-sponsor of Republican state Senator Glenn Grothman's "being single causes child abuse" bill as well as a controversial voter ID bill that was ruled unconstitutional earlier this week -- also said that while he thinks women are capable of caring for a family "in certain situations," fathers are the only ones who provide structure and discipline. If they don't grow up with married biological parents, Pridemore says, "kids tend to go astray."

Grothman, for his part, continues to defend his controversial bill. Now, though, not only is single parenthood a factor in child abuse, women in particular are to blame for it.

"There's been a huge change over the last 30 years, and a lot of that change has been the choice of the women," Grothman said.

What a faggot. Figures he would be a repuglycan. The repuglycan party seems to do a fantastic job of attracting morally putrid, fascist liars and greedy pricks in general. I wonder weather he thinks men who are in marriages, with kids, and not, where the woman is the abusive partner, should stay in the marriage. Wouldn't surprise me if the answer was 'no'

I also think women should stay in a marriage 

They should also increase hubby's life cover,  buy a haynes manual
for whatever car he drives -  look up 'brakes'

proceed to cut the cable.

Till death us do part

Where do these people come from and what makes them think these are good ideas?  I guess it's good he opened his mouth and said these things so people know not to vote for him next time around.
