He was just more than one month into his first legislative term in 2005 when he introduced a proposal to promote “asexualization therapy” for pedophiles, more commonly known as chemical castration. He didn’t stop there. The trial lawyer from Delano quickly followed that up with a proposal to cut off subsidized prenatal care for illegal immigrants, and another to issue special license plates to identify sex offenders."
