Alabama Democrat proposes bill mandating all men have vasectomy at age 50 or after third child

State Rep. Rolanda Hollis (D-Birmingham) on Thursday filed a bill that would mandate every Alabama man to undergo a vasectomy within one month of his 50th birthday or the birth of his third biological child, whichever comes first.

Democrats in the Alabama legislature last year brought up the possibility of introducing such a bill during the abortion debate on 2019’s HB 314, known as the Human Life Protection Act.

“Under existing law, there are no restrictions on the reproductive rights of men,” states the introduction to Hollis’ new bill, HB 238.

This is the same rep that read the poem “If my vagina was a gun” during the Alabama abortion bill debate.  So we know deep thoughts are not her forte.

First of all, there is no parallel to the rational mind between mandatory vasectomy and an abortion ban.  I disagreed with the Alabama abortion ban but understanding the circumstances of the majority of abortions is important to this analysis.

A man and a woman have consensual, unprotected sex.  The woman gets pregnant.  She decides for whatever reason she does not want to have the child, so she wants to kill her unborn child.  The question here is the right to life of the unborn child and does that supersede the right of the woman to have an abortion.

There is no parallel between that and forcing a man to be sterilized.  One bill prohibits medical intervention the other mandates it.

Only in the most superficial “one law is about vaginas so we’re going to make another law about testicles” does this relate, and it’s so stupid as to be headache-inducing.

But here is where this really gets bad.

There is a terrible history in the south of black men being castrated by the Klan if it was perceived that they had made an advance on a white woman.  Sometimes castration was a prelude to lynching, other times the men were left alive to suffer disfigurement and humiliation.

Of course, in my cultural history as a Jew, the Nazis engaged in the forced sterilization of European Jews.  Their Progressive advocates in the United States were supporters of eugenics which mandated the sterilization of the “mentally feeble,” and encouraged the sterilization of blacks and Jews.

I wonder if she has considered that this law, if passed, might be applied to black men with multiple baby mommas, or does she think of it as applying only to married, suburban Conservative white couples?

The very idea that some Leftist thinks that I should be forcibly sterilized and humiliated by being forced to pay for it, is the kind of thing that makes me go to Cabela’s and burn up some points on ammo.

If you think I won’t comply with an order to take my guns, the non-compliance I will have to an order to take my balls will leave a crater in the earth.

So in this woman’s attempt to be provocative in the most shallow way, has gone into the ash heap of history to recover some of the most egregious and awful behavior of the Klan and the Nazis.  As a black woman, she should be proud.
