State Representative Karianne Lisonbee made the remarks on Friday as state legislators celebrated the Court’s majority opinion that reversed its holdings in 1973’s Roe v. Wade and 1992’s Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
“I got a text message today saying I should seek to control men’s ejaculations and not women’s pregnancies,” Lisonbee told reporters during a news conference, adding that the message suggested: “that I clearly don’t trust women enough to make choices to control their own body.”
“And my response is I do trust women enough to control when they allow a man to ejaculate inside of them and to control that intake of semen,” she said.
