David Dewhurst and Texas Republican lawmakers hosted a press conference Tuesday morning touting Steve Hotze, a Houston-area "doctor" who is suing to stop the Affordable Care Act being implemented in Texas. Hotze's rather insane beliefs include the idea that a woman must get permission from a man to work outside the home.

The following is an overview of Hotze's beliefs:

A wife may work outside the home only with her husband's consent

Birth control pills prevent "the production of women's biologically identical female hormones and pheromones, making them less attractive to men"

When men lose their testicles to disease or injury, they have difficulty reading a map, performing math problems and making decisions

All disease and disability is caused by the sin of Adam and Eve

Medical problems are frequently caused by personal sin

No doctor shall provide medical service on the Sabbath

​The following is the statement I released to the press about Hotze - because, I mean, seriously?
