So I think this claim is extremely overblown. One of the votes he was criticized for is a stem bill which I don't have the time to look up, and does not look defensible. The other things are abortion rights and he or the people he represents think that abortion is immoral. You aught to stop pretending like everyone who wants to put abortion restrictions in place wants to put women back in the kitchen, its not true and frankly it shows immaturity on the part of people who are unwilling to accept that people who disagree with you might not be corporate agents (even though congresspeople are on some issues). In conclusion, your comment boils down to the idea that somehow half the country is just lying about their preferences and somehow magically the other half of the country knows exactly what they are really thinking.

Half of the country is not lying. They explicitly want to outlaw abortion. Maybe not half, but about a third explicitly want to put women back in the kitchen. At least one supreme court judge has stated that birth control is next. Amazing. I'm immature. Good comeback.

  Do you have any opinion surveys to back up the claim `third explicitly want to put women back in the kitchen`? If not is there a reason you suspect that? Also genuinely curious re `At least one supreme court judge has stated that birth control is next.` Do you have a source for that?

  I agree that you are immature. Your political opponents have nuanced opinions. Spend some effort understanding what those nuances are and you might learn something.
