I know that touching on abortion is a dangerous topic.
It is one that garners a lot of emotion. Ban it, don’t ban it, have some regulations that limit it, etc., there are arguments to be made all around.
The inescapable fact is that it is the killing of an unborn child.
At some point the unborn child has some bodily autonomy and most abortion laws are centered around at what point does that autonomy kick in and the right to life of the child supersede the right of the mother to an abortion.
Roe v. Wade set that point at 24 weeks. Some states have lowered it to 20. Georgia has cut it back to about six weeks.
But still the question at large is the autonomy of another human being, the unborn child.
Then some state rep in Georgia created a testicular bill of rights aimed at equating Viagra and vasectomies with abortion. It was ridiculous then.
Now a state rep in Illinois has taken that idea and gone full Nazi.
Her office became a silent, we had to focus and quickly make our case. Her eyes connected with mine and she said, “You know ladies, with technology the way it is, we wouldn’t have an abortion problem if we applied a plan. Now, I’ve been told it’s a bit radical, but if we allowed men to be castrated, took the sperm to the bank, collected tax dollars on it for storage, then when it’s time, to have the man decide he’s ready to begin a family…. well then problem is solved!”
Excuse me!?!
I have talked about this before, that radical feminists love the idea of forcible castration as a way of controlling men.
The historical precedent of Nazi forced sterilization and Progressive eugenics does not escape me.
The equivalent would be banning abortion and forcing women to undergo tubal ligation until marriage, and absolutely nobody is talking about that.
In fact, it is Republicans who are called racist for trying to ban female genital mutilation and Progressives standing up for the practice.
What we are talking about here is someone on the Left bringing up the idea of punitive amputation for half the population over ideological differences.
The ghost of Josef Mengele is alive an well on the Left and the feminists seem to be channeling him every change they get.
I was raised to never hit a woman, but when they start to bring up mutilating my son over their sick obsession with abortion and hating men, all bets are suddenly off.
If they want equality, I am happy to oblige them. I will use the same amount of violence to defend me an my son from grave bodily harm from a woman as I would from any male dictator.
WTF??? Oh hell no!
This idea of forcibly controlling men- ie lowering/eliminating their natural aggression- is a huge self fullfilling prophecy that would beget unimaginable levels of violence. Possibly enough to end the whole concept of feminism.
But what do I know, I’m just a guy w/ a swinging pair.
Nothing to see here, it’s just another Illinois socialist politician telling us how to run our lives here in the Dem paradise of Illinois
Human rights issues aside, what recourse does she propose if the power fails at the storage facility and all the frozen semen thaws and spoils, and now all those castrated men are 100% unable to start families?
What recourse does she propose if there’s a mix-up at the facility, and a man’s wife bears a child that’s not his?
Plus, if it’s taxpayer-funded, then it’s government controlled, complete with “application” forms to retrieve “samples”. If there’s an application process, there’s an approval/denial procedure. What recourse does she propose if a government bureaucrat arbitrarily decides a married couple isn’t allowed to have children?
Is she willing to be held personally responsible for all of these scenarios?
Also, is she that hard-core feminist that she’s willing to propose that no married woman ever get to enjoy sex with her husband? That’s straight out of 1984! Quoting O’Brien:
(That excerpt is from the very same paragraph that infamously ends, “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.”)
So she wants to completely remove reproductive autonomy from men and married couples. Summarily pre-convict and punish all males for sexual crimed. And have complete amd utter control of the population. With this scheme they would literally control your children from birth. And I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but what about the possibility that sperm bank workers could steal your sperm and either impregnate themselves or sell it to others. Then they could extort you for child support.
This woman should have been physically run out of the building for proposing such a horrendous thing.
Remember the screams from the left wwwaaayyyy back when China restricted couples to ONE child???? Gotta luv the liberal mind. Why do you think they want to disarm us???
