Pleasantly abstruse.
Don't Republicans have better things to be doing, like cutting medicare, eliminating food stamps, or cutting taxes for the to 0.1%?

Family Values Republican: Men Should Be Allowed to Grab Breastfeeding Womens Nipples in Public
New Hampshire state Rep. Josh Moore deleted the comment, but not before it was archived and posted elsewhere.
By Bethania Palma Markus / Raw Story January 2, 2016
A self-described pro-family conservative said on Facebook he should be allowed to grab the nipples of breastfeeding mothers if a law banning women exposing breasts in public didnt pass. New Hampshire state Rep. Josh Moore (R) deleted the comment, but it was archived and posted by Slate.
The comment was made in a squabble over proposed legislation that would make it a crime for women to expose their nipples in public. Currently in New Hampshire, both men and women are free to go topless, reports Slate. A bill sponsored solely by Republican men would change that, if it becomes law. A woman could be charged with a misdemeanor if she purposely exposes the areola or nipple of her breast or breasts in a public place and in the presence of another person with reckless disregard for whether a reasonable person would be offended or alarmed by such act.
New Hampshire State Rep. Amanda Bouldin (D) took to Facebook to criticize the bill and call out her male, Republican small government colleagues. Thats when things got awkward. Here is Moores response, including typos and errors.
Who doesnt support a mothers right to feed? Moore responded. Dont give me the liberal talking points Amanda. If its a womans natural inclination to pull her nipple out in public and you support that, than you should have no problem with a mans [inclination] to stare at it and grab it. After all, its ALL relative and natural, right?
If that wasnt bad enough, Moores fellow Republican, State Rep. Al Baldasaro, chimed in to further harass Bouldin.
Amanada, No disrespect, but your nipple would be the last one I would want to see, Baldasaro said. You want to turn our family beachs into a pervert show. Liberterians want a nude beach, put your money together and buy one, if you want to expose you kids to nudity, go for it. Some of us liberty minded Reps do beleive in family values.
Constituents criticized the law, and also the responses of Moore and Baldasaro.
I have no words, one woman wrote. Unbelievable and discriminatory to women and babies Id be proud to be on the sex offenders list for breastfeeding in public and Id rake the courts through the mud on national television!
I cant believe how backwards things have gone, my children are 21, 23 & 25, all breastfed, YES IN PUBLIC as well as in my home and I NEVER had any problems with anyone about it, another wrote. Im just shocked by this absurdity against the most natural thing in this world!
On Moores social media profiles, he identifies himself as a pro-family lawmaker who love God, Country, guns and family. Moore also claims he likes to pass his time by beatboxing.
