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.

Something should be done about mental illness and mental defectives.

One thing for sure, Jim, they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

That alone would reduce the chances of someone like Barbara Lee ever getting elected to congress.

For sure, able bodied people making their living (sometimes generation after generation) on the government dole (not referring to retirees or physically disabled here) should not be allowed to vote.

These kind of antics by freakazoid demwits makes it a little easier to understand how someone like Zippy Hussein could get elected.

The majority of the people that vote for these assclowns must be as demented as they are!

What the hell is going to happen if we have a debt crisis, dollar collapse and resulting 40% unemployment? And we know that is man made. There is not disputing that.

I think Carolyn Maloney, Barbara Lee, and Keith Ellison should go into sex work. Please.

Now that I’ve recovered from laughing at the stupidity of another idiot liberal female in congress-that is just what we women need-another weak sister to portray us all as helpless victims who sell ourselves at the hint of-a change in climate?? The lunatic must think we’ve been raised in a cave and educated in a brothel from the age of 12 or so...

You stated that perfectly. The people voting these idiots into office are just as brain dead as the Lee’s, Ellison’s and Maloney’s.

Then to have them vote an anti-American like ZERO into the WH just enables the traitors.

Might even say that it's a flaccid instrument, seeing that government is drunk with debt and all.

“I’m real tired of these lying scumbags.”

This is a good thing. They’re going completely of the freaking rails and showing the world how absolutely insane they are.

Just this week 2 of our local liberal newspaper writers have complained. One was complaining about out of control spending and the other complained about the 90% lie on guns.

And if that doesn’t work they’ll claim that climate change will make your penis fall off.
