Ouch A story from *2014 involving former state senator Russell Pearce* <http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/top-arizona-goper-resigns-after-sterilization-comments> is trending on the internet again, only this time with some *completely false information* <http://politics.leadstories.com/politicops.com/arizona-republican-suggests-sterilizing-women-condition-receiving-food-stamps/>. The currently trending *republished story* <http://politicops.com/arizona-republican-suggests-sterilizing-women-condition-receiving-food-stamps/> comes from a website that bills itself as "*JUST ENOUGH NEWS... Newslo is the first hybrid News/Satire platform on the web,*" which explains the *COMPLETELY FALSE* second half of the story.
Two years ago, on his KKNT 960 AM *The Russell Pearce Show, "Pearce declared: <http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/top-arizona-goper-resigns-after-sterilization-comments> "**You put me in charge of Medicaid, the first thing I'd do is get Norplant, birth-control implants, or tubal ligations...Then we'll test recipients for drugs and alcohol, and if you want to [reproduce] or use drugs or alcohol, then get a job*." Shortly after speaking on the show, "*the far-right former lawmaker <http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/2014/09/14/pearce-contraception-remarks-denounced/15645837/?hootPostID=c0c7f151c1104c6ebf4bc40fe9281873> who helped push Arizona's "papers please" immigration law has resigned as a top official with the state GOP after making comments about sterilizing poor women*." Below is a clip of the 2014 show: Lead Stories is unsure of the motive for republishing this old story, other than the fact that it is a political season and Russell Pearce a very controversial Republican, especially for his stance on immigration. Last year *Pearce stated that he would be happy to run as Donald Trump's running mate* <http://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/ejmontini/2015/08/06/donald-trump-russell-pearce-operation-wetback-republican-debate/31222243/>, though *The Donald* never asked. http://politics.leadstories.com/1139779-arizona-republican-truth.html On Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at 5:21:27 PM UTC-6, ImStillMags Mags wrote: > > Hey Gynotician, how about men??? > > <http://uspoln.com/2017/02/13/arizona-republican-suggests-sterilizing-women-condition-receiving-food-stamps/> > Arizona Republican Suggests “Sterilizing Women As A Condition For > Receiving Food Stamps” > <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fuspoln.com%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2Farizona-republican-suggests-sterilizing-women-condition-receiving-food-stamps%2F&h=ATMIp-BFpZaDu1li8eK8iY28oiIDpp-nSASGLfBueaL0mOw9ETFm34ju0MnXhzIqvqukYH9n4mZbW8zfOp16psEcNiYYno0qSJYfdJJtDD99a8hlJxgBYNDOd_ffaMorK4DV4CU-aQja&enc=AZPG7Dd8ukekzNAOTZA0M3rxkgKHc279xE9samR_ZH9eI5w2avEWvhZIIMZBEuH9EmEiVLeBqvFc6CAVgR8p1yHSa-A1W-w5hNnJ5KXBQSOVFPtNGwVNBktU4RfFxm0FlqOxhh0OPH63gV5bAurF5GDtGJ_7sN9pE0GfgpHlT4bMqWx92O20zZUzoHh7xjCJiq4yCHJPigjEDea0Z8L9hQpR&s=1> > The far-right former lawmaker who helped push Arizona’s “papers please” > immigration law has resigned as a top official with the state GOP after… > USPOLN.COM > > -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
