This Deadshit Senator Is Getting Roasted For Saying He’s A Woman Just So He Can Oppose Abortion

"Surely as a senator, Ms Barry O'Sullivan should pay closer attention to her hair and clothing style?"

Nationals Senator and massive flaming gronk Barry O’Sullivan is being roasted on social media after insisting that he is a woman just so people can no longer “attack” him for being opposed to abortion.

O’Sullivan made the declaration in Parliament on Wednesday after he was criticised by Greens Senator Larissa Waters over his anti-abortion views.

“These people come and attack me for my religious basis the other day, using words like rosary beads, because I had the audacity to raise issues around late-term abortions where babies that are only minutes away from getting a smack on the arse and a name are being aborted under the policies of the Australian Greens,” O’Sullivan complained.

“I am going to declare my gender today, to be a woman, and then you’ll no longer be able to attack me.”

Waters had said on Monday that O’Sullivan ought to “get his hands and his rosaries off my ovaries and those of the 10,000 Queensland women who have an abortion each year”, after the Nationals Senator moved a motion calling for pro-choice activists to be banned from protesting during the annual Day of the Unborn Child. The motion was defeated 32 to 12.

Keep in mind, this isn’t the first time O’Sullivan has mocked the concept of being transgender in order to make some sort of half-baked political point. Back in May, he asked Senate Estimates whether he could say he was a woman and then “go into the ladies’ loo loo”.

Still, now that O’Sullivan has officially come out as a woman, people reckon it’s only fair he gets the full experience.

Others were more direct in their criticism.

On the plus side, the Coalition has already dumped O’Sullivan from their ticket for the upcoming federal election, meaning we’ll only have to put up with his crap for a couple more months.
