House Resolution: Climate Change May Push Women to ‘Sex Work’

By Eliana Johnson

A House resolution sponsored by representative Barbara Lee (D, Calif.) and cosponsored by House members including Keith Ellison (D, Minn.) and Carolyn Maloney (D, N.Y.) is pushing Congress to acknowledge the “disparate impact of climate change on women” and adopt “gender-sensitive frameworks” to address environmental change.

The resolution argues that climate change may have a particularly dire impact on women. Climate change, it says, exacerbates food scarcity, and “Food insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health.”

Representative Lee told The Hill: ”My resolution will affirm the commitment to include and empower women in economic development planning and international climate change policies and practices. This will help communities adapt to climate impacts, and embark on a path towards clean and sustainable development.”

Her resolution also urges the inclusion of women in the development of climate-change policies.

I surprised that nut in Ga who thought Guam was going to tip over was not the one to propose this resolution.

These are our leaders. I would say we in one big heap of problems here with clowns like this pulling the levers.

Proving once again that Barbara Lee & Co. are raving lunatics and proud of it. Something should be done about mental illness and mental defectives. Especially when they serve in congress.

These RATS sponsoring this resolution better hope their supposed climate change doesn’t kill off one of the two brain cells each has, they’ll really be in trouble.

Incredible - what will womyn think of next!?

On one hand females are as smart and strong and self-sufficient as men, but on the other hand females are weak, vulnerable, and not resourseful at all.

Guess it depends on what serves the agenda best...

So ... she’s saying that, if climate change happens, men are going to have to pay for sex!?!?

We cannot stand for this.

Un-freakin-believable! I had to read the header several times to make sure it wasn’t from The Onion or another satire site. I-D-I-O-T-S!

You’d think the other side would be embarrassed by this kind of blatant idiocy and after a while they’d start culling the herd. But then you realize that they are ALL raving lunatics from the chief occupant on down. There is no cure for stupidity. And when we have masses of stupid people voting in block, unfortunately it can’t be voted out either.

I always know there’s trouble brewing when I see the word “empower”.

Honest to GOD, I was looking for an Onion reference to this thread.

My GOD, you can't make this stuff up.
