Wisconsin Republicans are proposing a bill that would do away with work permit requirements for 14- and 15-year-olds in the state.

    So the official GOP position is that parents should be notified if a 14 year old expresses any kind of gender non-conformity, if the 14 year old seeks medical care for birth control, but not if a small business owner or large corporation wants to exploit that child’s labor for profit.

    Completely logically consistent.

    I mean, if we’re taking it back to the 1900’s then child labour is required.
