Ron Johnson, the US senator for hot takes, famed for such hits as “[the Capitol riot] seemed like a peaceful protest to me” and “mouthwash has been proven to kill the coronavirus”, is at it again. On Wednesday, Johnson, the senior Republican senator from Wisconsin, told local news station WKBT: “People decide to have families and become parents. That’s something they need to consider when they make that choice.”
He continued: “I’ve never really felt it was society’s responsibility to take care of other people’s children.”
Notably, Johnson also believes it is his right to decide for a family whether or not they should have a child. He is vociferously anti-abortion, and last February co-sponsored a bill making it a criminal offense to perform or attempt an abortion after 20 weeks.
