A top Republican state lawmaker is touting what he suggests are the off-label benefits of aspirin: as a contraceptive, if used as he directs.
“Bayer Company invented aspirin. Put it between your knees,” Arizona state Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli, a far-right Republican who has promoted false election fraud claims, told the Arizona Mirror, as Heartland Signal reports.
The Mirror reports Borrelli “suggested women wouldn’t need contraceptives if they weren’t so promiscuous.”
This is not the first time a Republican has claimed Bayer aspirin is a good contraceptive.
contraceptive thing, my gosh … Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives.”
“The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn’t that costly,” said Friess, who also provided seed money to start Charlie Kirk’s right wing group Turning Point USA.
