Or scripture. They're all nihilists now.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:Johnson announced the policy in a public statement today that said “all single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings – such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms – are reserved for individuals of that biological sex... Women deserve women’s only spaces."

...

“For anyone who doesn’t know my established record on this issue, let me be unequivocally clear: a man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman.”

“That said, I also believe that’s what scripture teaches, what I just said, but I also believe we treat everybody with dignity. We can do and believe all those things at the same time,” he continued.

The quotes provided by the article indicate that Mike Johnson proposed this bill to prevent men from harming women.

It is not a violation of church and state - the "law" (?) I presume found to be violated - to acknowledge that a bill intended to protect women also falls in line with the Biblical and historical view of male and female being two distinct categories.

It's so easy, all you have to do is not blurt out SCRIPTURE and the whole world will chug along pretending nothing is askance with no way to do anything about it when it so obviously is.

Mike Johnson couldn't help himself, just like his porn.

How, precisely, does this bill protect women?

Or he gave an honest answer and people don't like that.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. That's what's so amusing about it in the first place?

Curious about that myself. I’ve been in dozens of public unisex bathrooms and none of them appeared to be rape zones.
