Thousands of children are deprived of birth due to lack of vasectomy regulation

[FayeforCure]

A group of female Democratic legislators in the Georgia House of Representatives has proposed a bill that would ban men from seeking vasectomies.

"Thousands of children are deprived of birth in this state every year because of the lack of state regulation over vasectomies," said bill author Yasmin Neal in a statement. "It is patently unfair that men can avoid unwanted fatherhood by presuming that their judgment over such matters is more valid than the judgment of the General Assembly, while women's ability to decide is constantly up for debate throughout the United States."

SMH. 

THIS - this is the dumbest thing I've ever read. 

Thank you, Faye.

Fare is fare.

Are you kidding turnabout is fair play. This is a direct apples to apples comparison highlighting the hypocrisy.

Fare is fare.

Fair is Fair.  Sure.

We get snipped to PREVENT not terminate.

They (females) have the same option, look up Tubal Ligation.  It's a similar, somewhat 75%reversible operation (albeit extremely costly), though it's not an outpatient procedure.  You'll probably spend the night in the hospital.

Yes that is why people use contraceptives.

Yes that is why people use contraceptives.

They want to ban Prevention?  Aren't there a multitude of Prevention methods available to females that aren't offered widely to males?  Both sexes have equal opportunity to use a few tried and true methods of Prevention:  condoms and abstinence.

Whether the bill was introduced tongue-in-cheek or in seriousness, this is still the dumbest thing I've ever read. 

The title of the bill should have been:  Let's prevent prevention since THEY want to prevent termination.

Abstinence is the most failed form of birth control ever. As long as there have been people they have proven they do it and not just to have children. Sex has long been defined as a need and yet we act like it is an indiscretion particularly if a woman does it.

Am I missing it or isn't this a statement about the right claiming contraceptives should not be covered by insurance if the employer's church want some babies.(regardless of what the perspective parents want)

Not many things work right if you don't follow the instructions.

It seems to be a proposed legislation to mock the Repubs for attempting to move the ban on abortions up from 24 weeks to 20 weeks.   I didn't see anything referencing insurance, but I haven't read HB954 either. 

Like I stated earlier, this is the absolute dumbest thing I've read, but probably pales in comparison to the dumbest thing I'm going to type tonight.  See below.


I'm going to watch some internet porn now, someone better call 911 - I'm going to asphyxiate about 300million potential kids in about 10 minutes.

Its a sort of reductio ad absurdum/ridiculum.  As a protest, it gets attention.  As reasonable thought, it fails.  I guess politics works best as flash rather than substance.

Have a sense of humor.  It's pretty funny.  The people over at the Onion are probably sorry they didn't think of this.

Yeah we think it's funny when we talk about regulating men's contraception............. but "cost effective women's contraception should not be offered by insurance"  , so why should cost-effective men's contraception be offered by insurance?

Men should use abstinence or buy their own, just like those self-righteous men tell their women.

Government interference in women's healthcare is a-okay, but when we try to do the same with men's healthcare......it's just "funny"
