Utah lawmaker trusts women to control "intake of semen" post-Roe

Rep. Karianne Lisonbee described a text message she said she received urging her to hold men accountable for unwanted pregnancies.

“I got a text message today saying I should seek to control men’s ejaculations and not women’s pregnancies … I do trust women enough to control when they allow a man to ejaculate inside of them and to control that intake of semen,” the Clearfield Republican told reporters at a news conference at the Utah Capitol on Friday.

Lisonbee also said she wanted to reassure Utahns that lawmakers want them to have justice after sexual assaults.
