TurningPointUSA's Charlie Kirk joins a lot of other Republicans who oppose birth control and want us womens to shut up about bodily autonomy. He called Democratic women bitter as he spewed false information about birth control. Get in line, ladies, and don't be bitter. He means it! Just go out there, and have babies. That's all we're good for, according to Charles.

"A lot of them are on birth control too, and birth control really screws up female brains, by the way," he said without offering any proof to back that up. "Every single one of you need to make sure that your loved ones are not on birth control."

"It increases depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation," Kirk falsely said. "Birth control is the number one most prescribed medication for young ladies under the age of 25."

Note: "The birth control pill is the most commonly prescribed form of contraception in the US. Approximately 25% of women aged 15 to 44 who currently use contraception reported using the pill as their method of choice."

"They will give young ladies birth control for pimples, for acne, to control their moods, their period," he continued/

"It is awful," he said. "It's terrible."

"It creates very angry and bitter young ladies and young women," he said. "That bitterness then manifests into a political party that is the bitter party."

"The Democrat Party is all about, bring us your bitterness, and we'll give you free stuff," he added. "It's like, we'll trade you bitterness for stuff, essentially."

What free stuff, and how does he tie that in with birth control? Speaking of bitter, forcing young women to give birth sounds a bit controlling, Charles. It sounds like Democratic women have made him bitter. That's because his party is losing with the coveted women's voting bloc. Tough shit, Charles.
