Diaz Said WHAT?!

Reverend Ruben Diaz, Sr. is a State Senator from SD 32, Pentecostal minister, anti-choice activist and self-proclaimed "most conservative Democrat in the city."

And he is supposed to speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who live in the South Bronx.

But does he speak for you?

Yes, Ruben Diaz, Pretty Girls Do Things Like Fight For Their Reproductive Freedom

You’ll never believe the encouraging words Diaz had for a young citizen activist trying to participate in the democratic process (via the New York Observer):

“Senator Diaz Sr. must have known I was with Planned Parenthood from the t-shirt I was wearing with the logo and asked me how such a pretty girl could volunteer with Planned Parenthood,” she writes. “I was speechless! I mean, what would you say if a State Senator asked you that?”
