Oklahoma lawmakers want men to approve all abortions

Oklahoma Rep. Justin Humphrey is pushing for the passage of House Bill 1441, "prohibiting abortion to be performed without consent of the father; requiring pregnant woman seeking to abort pregnancy to provide identity of father." It might as well be called the Handmaid's Tale Law.

Rep. Humphrey explained his reasoning behind the bill to The Intercept:

I believe one of the breakdowns in our society is that we have excluded the man out of all of these types of decisions, [Humphrey] said. I understand that they feel like that is their body, he said of women. I feel like it is a separate what I call them is, is youre a host. And you know when you enter into a relationship youre going to be that host and so, you know, if you pre-know that then take all precautions and dont get pregnant, he explained. So thats where Im at. Im like, hey, your body is your body and be responsible with it. But after youre irresponsible then dont claim, well, I can just go and do this with another body, when youre the host and you invited that in.

Was he wearing his swell cowboy costume when he said this?
