Oh, you're misrepresenting the facts here. Obviously, this poor man was divorced 4 times by women who just have no sense of personal responsibility for their marriage. Their equal rights before the law and independence have made them irresponsible and entitled (to a life without a dickwad husband).
The clock is being turned back in Ohio:

Same people applauding this law are the ones who go nuts every time a Muslim person runs for office, afraid they will impose "Sharia law".

Do unto others... before they do it unto you. :(
I'd propose a bill disallowing politicians to name their bills.

Clearly the only rational option is to remove women's right to vote!

I should've phrased better:
(/s JUST IN CASE (BECAUSE) THE INTERNET IS WEIRD)
