Texas state Democratic Rep. Senfronia Thompson took a moment of personal privilege Thursday to express her outrage at fliers put out by the Texas Civil Justice League opposing the “nanny state.”

One flier showed a picture of a baby nursing on a woman’s breast and the other depicted a baby’s pacifier.

“Some of you may find them funny, but I find them despicable,” she said. “I find them distasteful. I find them hateful, and I find them to foster violence and disrespect toward women.”

“And I find it hard to believe the Texas Civil Justice League would go so low that they would put out this kind of hate resentful bitter, despicable, despisable, violent fliers toward women just to get at a piece of legislation.”
