He keeps repeating we need to have more kids and is then caught by surprise when the reporter explains that is the purpose of In Vitro Fertilization.
Alabama has decreed frozen embryos to be children and any that do not produce a child leads to everyone involved being prosecuted for murder. This is causing hospitals to stop performing IVF procedures.
Make no mistake, Republicans have declared war on women, science, education, marginalized people, and the future. Women and marginalized people are fleeing the deep red states in droves.

Lauren Boebert's son has gotten "attention he didn't ask for" because of who his mother is, and how she has presented herself to the public.
There are many, many young people going through difficult challenges because of who they are. Boebert has made their lives harder with her bigoted rhetoric. And of course, there are many, many young people who are now dead - and many, many more who are traumatized - because of gun violence, which Boebert has actively promoted.

I feel like I'm going crazy over the fact that people don't seem to realize that bills like KOSA will make most help lines virtually inaccessible to minors... Allowing more and more awful human beings to get away with heinous crimes... Almost like conservatives across the globe specially designed these bills to allow for this sort of thing! But they would never... I mean, it's not like Matt Gatez and Jim Jordan are in office! Oh wait.

North Dakota Republicans be like:
Tumblr media
Ten days after narrowly defeating a bill to provide free school lunches to low-income K-12 students, the North Dakota Senate approved legislation to increase the amount of money lawmakers and other state employees receive in meal reimbursements.
A leading Republican senator says employee meal compensation rates and free school lunch programs aren't related issues, but top Democrats see the chamber’s conflicting actions on the two bills as unjustifiable.
“I thought today’s vote was very self-serving,” said Senate Minority Leader Kathy Hogan, D-Fargo. “How can we vote for ourselves when we can’t vote for children?”
The Republican-dominated Senate in late March rejected House Bill 1491 by a single vote. The legislation, which had previously passed the House, would have dedicated $6 million over the next two school years to cover lunch costs for K-12 students with family incomes below double the federal poverty level. Children from families of four making less than $60,000 a year would have qualified.
A federal program already provides free meals to students from families making below 130% of the federal poverty level, so the state allocation nixed by senators would have applied to kids with family incomes between 130-200% of the poverty level.
The Senate voted 26-21 on Thursday, April 6, to pass Senate Bill 2124, which would raise the meal reimbursements received by state employees during travel within North Dakota. Lawmakers attending interim legislative meetings are eligible for the payments, but they do not receive meal reimbursements during biennial sessions.
If Gov. Doug Burgum signs the bill, state employees could collect up to $45 a day to pay for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That’s a hike of nearly 29% on the current reimbursement rate of $35. The added cost to the state would be nearly $1 million over the next two-year budget cycle.
Thirteen Republican senators, including Majority Leader David Hogue and Assistant Majority Leader Jerry Klein, voted to increase meal reimbursements after voting against the free school lunch bill.
Hogue declined to comment on the reason he voted for Senate Bill 2124 and against House Bill 1491. He said North Dakota lawmakers often are asked to devote state funds to expand federal programs, like the National School Lunch Program or Medicaid.
“I don’t have a good answer for you as (to) why we do it sometimes and not others,” Hogue said.
Klein said he doesn’t think there’s “any correlation whatsoever” between the two bills, noting that lawmakers have to “treat each issue separately.”
State employees should get a higher per diem because inflation has made eating out much more expensive, he noted.
Klein said there is still money available and time left before lawmakers leave Bismarck to approve funding for school lunches. Last week, the House added the $6 million for free school lunches into a separate bill that has not yet returned to the Senate.
The other Republican senators who voted for Senate Bill 2124 and against House Bill 1491 are Randy Burckhard, David Clemens, Bob Erbele, Judy Estenson, Curt Kreun, Judy Lee, Randy Lemm, Larry Luick, Don Schaible, Terry Wanzek and Mike Wobbema.
Hogan said she was shocked and disappointed by Thursday’s vote. She dismissed Klein’s suggestion that the two bills are unrelated, noting that they would both spend taxpayer money to cover meals for North Dakotans.
The Senate’s inconsistent actions on the two bills will confuse the public and hurt the chamber’s credibility, Hogan said.
“There’s no underlying consistent philosophy to how we’re spending money in this session, and this is a classic example of it,” Hogan said.
Assistant House Minority Leader Zac Ista, a Grand Forks Democrat at the forefront of the push for free school lunches, said the Legislature should be looking to support both students and state employees.
“I think it shows (the Senate’s) priorities are a little out of whack when they have no problem increasing the meal reimbursement rate for ourselves but not for those families that may be struggling to make ends meet,” Ista said.

This filing from Texas AG Ken Paxton contradicts his public position on abortion
No story illustrates the deep inadequacy of accusing "pro-life" Republicans of hypocrisy these days like the awful one unfolding in Texas right now. The case involves a state employee who lost a much-wanted pregnancy when her supervisors refused to let her leave work to seek medical care.
The only thing consistent about Republican positions is the cruelty.
