Mark Robinson Scolds Women About Sexual Control in Church Speech

In the sermon, he mocked the idea of “female empowerment” and insisted that any intellectual or personal improvement a young woman pursues would be useless if they continued to have casual sex.

Misogynistic commentary from Robinson
Robinson’s track record reveals his explicit and implicit derogatory comments towards women and women’s issues.
He has criticized birth control, accused women of promiscuity, and used inflammatory rhetoric within religious contexts.
Robinson’s controversial remarks have failed to affect his standing in the polls, garnering a significant margin in the Republican primaries.
Despite this, Robinson is lagging behind his Democratic opponent, Josh Stein, who is committed to defending abortion rights and other aspects of reproductive health.
The ultimate outcome of the election is undetermined, and Robinson’s past comments raise questions about how he would handle the public platform offered by the governor’s office.
In a past social media post, Robinson, who admitted to having an abortion with his wife, labeled women who have abortions as promiscuous.
