Let's Outlaw Vasectomy

[Stephanie]

Who's with me?

[WestHoustonDem]

1. Hell no! At least not until I hit menopause!

:rofl:

[CountAllVotes]

2. I think they should outlaw VIAGRA

and all other MALE get-it-up drugs. :grr:

:argh:

[Fridays Child]

4. Yes!

:thumbsup:

[CountAllVotes]

9. re: Viagra ...

Makes me mad as hell, MEDICARE pays for this crap. Yet they will not pay for a "well-person" exam for a woman (or a man for that matter). Health care is "no care" with Medicare yet they pay for VIAGRA! :wtf:

:kick:

[LostinVA]

20. I actually think they've stopped this

[Fridays Child]

25. That's good but the fact that they ever did it, in the first place...

...speaks volumes.

[LostinVA]

32. Oh, I know -- and some HMOs do cover it, but not BC pills

THAT should be illegal.

[Fridays Child]

37. The message...

Men can f*** women and there's not a damn thing women can do about it. We really are incubators in many men's eyes. This has to stop.

[LostinVA]

38. Yup...

[Tesha]

3. "This is the FMVRT -- Federal Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversal Team"

After vasectomies are outlawed...

(BANG, BANG, BANG on your front door...)

"This is the FMVRT -- Federal Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversal Team --
We got a tip that you're shooting blanks so we're coming in there with
a warrant. You can whip 'em out peacefully now or we can drag 'em out
and something just might get hurt!"

5. Selfishly, no.

Son and wife just had their 3rd child on February 28th. Yeah! His gift to his wife on Valentines Day was a vasectomy. (P.S. Gift to himself, too, as she was going to cut him off).
But I get your point; if abortions are going to be off limits, why not vasectomies?
And wouldn't a vasectomy be a no-no to the religious right because it's goal is to kill babies? :crazy:

[Arkansas Granny]

15. A vasectomy doesn't really kill babies, but I have heard some of

the fundies denounce any surgical birth control procedure, male or female, referred to as mutilations. In their opinion, your body is supposed to remain as God made it and to render yourself sterile is in conflict with God's will and is, therefore, mutilation.

[mark11727]

My body is supposed to remain as God made it...?

Damn, I should have saved my tonsils from 50 years ago...!

[Warpy]

33. Yeah, and I guess I should have just died rather than have that

appendectomy 22 years ago.

Those people are stupid and crazy, a dangerous combination. We need to bring back the state mental hospitals, get them medicated so they'll stop hurting the rest of us.

[Arkansas Granny]

34. And if I'd known this when I had that appendectomy. . .

[madokie]

16. if it just didn't feel so good we wouldn't need it. so who's fault is it

anyway, the creator??? to the believers.

[Plausible]

6. how about an amendment to ban spilling male seed

that sacred life-giving sperm.

[Stephanie]

10. well now that's even better

Let's Outlaw Male Masturbation

[mark11727]

42. Now, wait-a-second...!

No vasectomy AND no masturbation ...?

Ponn. Farr.

[muriel_volestrangler]

7. This must be in reference to something

The "Catholic" town in Florida from the pizza delivery man? Anything else?

[havocmom]

8. Why not just tie knots

in the root of the problem? ;)

[Stephanie]

12. well you'd have to have enough rope to work with

not likely in all cases

[Viva_La_Revolution]

13. ...

:spray:

[havocmom]

18. Use a rug latch hook

Works wonders with short strands :D

[MountainLaurel]

49. Oh. My. Word.

:spray:

[Arkansas Granny]

35. LOL

:rofl:

[SunDrop23]

11. Go for it! I've already had mine...LOL

[AndyA]

14. They should outlaw all of it!

Viagra, condoms, the pill, etc. That would protect the right to life.

Of course, they won't do that, because they would then hurt their pharmaceutical company cronies who make the stuff and sell it.

The hypocrisy is stunning. We're fighting a war on terror, and they're determined to attack us again on our soil, yet the ports and our borders are wide open. But we have to be strip searched to board a plane. WTF?

We give subsidies to oil companies that are already making obscene profits, yet do nothing for American airlines, who are all going bankrupt. WTF???!!!

Too many things just DO NOT ADD UP IN THIS ADMINISTRATION.

AMERICA NEEDS LEADERSHIP FOR A CHANGE!

[Plausible]

17. how about we

fight them with their own tools so to speak :)

Push for a constititional amendment that it is illegal to have sexual relations except to create a baby.

[MoeHayNow]

19. I'm sacred life!

Actually, I think that the person who invented the vasectomy procedure should have his/her face on the money!

So, I guess you could put me down as a "no."

[newyawker99]

50. Hi MoeHayNow!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. I'm with you OR every anti-abortion male should be forced to have one.

Which is better?:evilgrin:

[IsItJustMe]

22. We got frickin pharmacists refusing to give out birth control pills.

Passed a law in my state that you must hand out the pill if you are a pharmacist.

This right wing shit has gone way to far.

[C_U_L8R]

23. Not that any of us would...

but never have sex with a republikan,

And if Republikan women had any sense at all,
they would divorce their husbands immediately.

Republikans are women-haters.

[TahitiNut]

24. Along with tubal ligation?

:shrug:

[Stephanie]

26. yes!

[Plausible]

27. make both free

vasetomy and tubal ligations.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Count me in

If women's reproductive choices are going to be limited, then men's should be as well.

[Stephanie]

36. precisely

thanks for getting the point

[WePurrsevere]

29. Aww.. come on why not go the next step & outlaw sex that's not for

procreation. Perhaps make having sex in any position other then the "missionary", at night and with the lights out illegal.

I mean really... Judeo-Christian "God" forbid, folks should ENJOY sex just for the FUN of it. :D

[Brewman_Jax]

30. Absolutely!

Since it's all about procreation, give the freeper males viagra so they can perform their duties of increasing the freeper population--regardless of their personal opinions.

[Bigmack]

31. YES!! "Every sperm is sacred....

... every sperm is good..."

Monty Python... "Meaning of Life"

The White House is already on it... http://www.whitehouse.org/initiatives/purity/index.asp

Betty Bowers has a plan, too.... http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news1100/masturbation.html

[Hubert Flottz]

39. Let's outlaw sex!

Ladies you can do it!

[qanda]

40. NOOOOOOO!!!!

It saved my marriage.

[Stephanie]

41. too bad

your vital sperm have more rights than you do - get used to it.

[Skidmore]

43. How about, let's make it mandatory.

If men are going to insist on insurance coverage for Viagra and tell women they have to have pregnancies whether they want them or not, I say mandatory vascetomies for every man who walks away from a child he has fathered.

[yppahemnkm]

44. I'm all for it.

Not real fond of the idea anyway.

[sinkingfeeling]

45. Personally, if they outlaw abortions , I'm for mandatory vasectomies

for every male over the age of 12! If men so want to control women's bodies, I think turn-about is only fair.

[realFedUp]

46. I must have missed another thread...

I hate that :-)

I say vasectomys should be done in every Starbucks.

[mike_c]

47. I'm for mandatory vasectomies, personally....

Well OK, maybe not MANDATORY, but damnit, vasectomy is so easy, fast, and assured that BC that screws up women's bodies, hormones, etc is completely unnecessary.

[marzipanni]

48. Outlaw antibiotic and antiviral drugs

Aren't microbes alive? Did not the Creator put them here for a purpose?

[Orsino]

51. Then only outlaws will have vasectomies. n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

52. I don't think we should outlaw anything!
