"A woman's body is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship, and it’s about time the dictator took charge," read the message.
He later credited Radhika Vaz of being the author of the message and blamed a character limit on tweets as being the reason behind him being uable to tag her in the original tweet.
The message is still as potent and relevant, neverthess, BigB!
