During a pro-abortion rally in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) told a crowd that lawmakers are so obsessed with what she does with her body that, “maybe you shouldn't even want to have sex with me!'"

I think it should be fairly easy to form a bipartisan consensus on this issue.

"This past year, I realized, my, my, my are they obsessed with our bodies, how we talk, how we look, what we stand for. I mean, this type of policing of our bodies is so interconnected to all the social justice movements all around the country," Tlaib said.
"This issue is an economic justice issue, this issue is a racial justice issue," she later added.
"And let me tell you, this obsession with our bodies. You know, I, in the Michigan legislature for six years, used to say to people, 'Yo, yo, you know what, you're so freakin' obsessed with what I decide to do with my body, maybe you shouldn't even want to have sex with me! Or with you, or with any women!"
"We won't stand by for you to commercialize, for you to profit, for you do all the the things you do to what - to make us less than, in this country," said the lawmaker who has received a 100% rating from The Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
No irony to be found that she is supported by an organization that makes money by performing abortions.
The Supreme Court is currently hearing the case 'June Medical Services v. Russo.' It centers on a Louisiana law that requires abortion clinics to have admitting privileges to a nearby hospital in the event of a medical emergency stemming from an abortion procedure.
