Stephan: It is amazing to me that Republicans now no longer even attempt to cover up or deny their conviction that women are second class and their belief that Republican men should be able to dictate not only what women do with their bodies, but even their right to travel. In fact, it has gotten down to the point where motherhood itself is no longer seen as a unique and essential role in women's lives. At no previous time in my life has the male dominance issue been so overt and fundamental to a political party's agenda.
According to a report from the Great Falls Tribune, earlier this week State Rep. Brad Tschida (R-Missoula) sent out a controversial email offering them his opinion that a woman’s womb serves no purpose in her “life and well-being.”
The conservative Tshida, who has also questioned the 2020 election results, was reportedly passing along something he claims he heard on a podcast.
According to the report, the former Montana House leader who is now running for a seat in the state Senate passed along what he heard in an email to over 100 of his colleagues at a time when conservative lawmakers in deep red states are making up new laws banning abortion.
