Can we just take a second to appreciate how fucking sick of a sign "MY UTERUS > YOUR GOD" is?
Best. Sign. Ever.
I'll remember that. Thank you.
I quite like this sign from the Women's March a few years ago-

I knew of a girl when I was in high school. She was a senior and I was a sophomore. Word began rushing through the school that she (head cheerleader) was pregnant by the quarterback on the football team. He came from a super wealthy family, and honestly we all expected an immediate marriage and a 'premature' baby.
What happened instead was an announcement that she had died during emergency surgery and let's all pray. She had had a (what we called) backstreet abortion and hemorrhaged.
We all knew how to access an illegal abortion, we knew the risks, and this girl just was the unlucky one.
She was super smart, in the Latin club, debate, 4.0, just destined for success. And instead she died.
This was in 1969, and I cannot believe we as a nation are willing to go back over 2 decades in women's healthcare.
You can blame the Moral Majority. So many of them would look at your story and go "well that's what she deserved for having premarital sex".
I avoid having kids by simply being completely unappealing to women. 😤
Is it possible to learn such power?
Not from a normie
this is currently my meta. Just betting that the likelihood that i get raped and end up "being a father" is low enough that having a vasectomy or something would outweigh the potential cons.
Unfortunately, I think the people who should be sterilizing themselves are not the ones doing it. (not talking about eugenics)
Don’t mind me, my trans ass is just over here laughing about how “concerned” the GOP is about trans kids’ fertility while lighting a fire under the ass of cis adults (which you may have noticed greatly outnumber trans children!) to get themselves permanently sterilized.
I support any person who chooses not to have children. It’s saving the planet. There are way too many people.
You keep being told that. There are way too many billionaires, that's the real problem.
"Overpopulation" is a right-wing myth.
Overpopulation as a dogwhistle for racism is a conservative myth.
Overpopulation in a "I'd rather not turn Earth into Coruscant and so many of our climate and food/water issues would be easier to deal with if the global birth rate slowed voluntarily" is not.
i have a theory that the food shortage is a sort of example of the overpopulation at play.
The sheer fact that there are so many people in this one place, that we can produce too much food, and then not distribute it effectively, implies to me that there are simply too many people in one place for it to be effectively distributed. I.E. over populated.
Environmental eugenics is still eugenics
Won't be long before the christian shithead republiclowns outlaw that too.
Next step for Republicans: Ban sterilization. I mean plenty of doctors already refuse to agree for a patient to have a vasectomy/get their tubes tied, especially young (and white) patients, because of shitty personal beliefs. Why not go a step further? These working class heathens need to be forced to stay in line.
Also ban viagra. Impotence is the will of god.
I'd sooner worship an organ than a fairy tale.
Banning abortion is really gonna pump those birth rates up!
Oh wait...
Fuckin for real good for these folks for taking matters into their own hands.
The 1% can make their own wage slaves.
How long until we see cishet women with "no unsnipped guys" in their Tinder bios?
As someone who was single and looking on dating apps a year ago I wish they did. Would have made my job easier since I don't want kids and not everyone puts that on there. I was extremely upfront about being a loser gamer (I play league) that doesn't want kids. You'd be surprised about the amount of people who still contacted me based on looks alone and didn't bother to read the bio.
I was extremely upfront cause I know who I am and what I want and I'm not hiding it. Take me or leave me. Turns out It worked and I found my fiancee that way.
I live in Texas and plan on getting a vasectomy as soon as I have the money.
Do you have insurance? My rinky-dink bare minimum ACA insurance turned out to cover it. It cost me $40 in total. You might want to check into that.
this is actually a really based statistic now that i think about it.
Just sterilize yourself forcibly if you are ok with it. It's a protest. What are they going to do, force us to have babies?
And if you really want to raise kids, adoption is a win-win-win for you, them, and the planet
Isn't it really expensive in a lot of places?
People are simply not going to be forced to have kids. Repuglicans are completely blind to that fact
This is a good article about how one woman figured out how to do abortions herself. https://story.californiasunday.com/abortion-providers/
This is what will happen.
Dunno if I’m ‘young’ but I did get snipped 3 years ago. No kids for me.
I got it done at 22 years old, no ragrets and no oopsies so far
Wow, people really don't want to wear a condom...
No thanks, I'll just fuck a fleshlight instead. Much better than a real vagina with a condom.
BTW condom dissent is majorly censored all accross the internet, even though it is an almost universally held belief that condom sex is shit sex not worth having.
Won't this potentially contribute to an increasing population of people supportive of, or otherwise apathetic about, abortion restrictions, supposing those taking this course are largely against abortion restrictions?
Support for abortion is not a genetic trait, and seeing firsthand the effects of criminalizing abortion is a quick road to being militantly supportive of it.
You're just doing exactly what conservatives want. Now they will have 20 kids and you will have zero, and the future generation will be further fucked.
No, I'm doing what I want which is not to have kids. Regardless of what conservative fuckheads want or think.
Then this doesn't apply to you why are you commenting
They just want more plebe workers, this is almost certainly not what they want
I think about this a lot, and the first scene of Idiocracy.
If you think growing up in a conservative household guarantees a kid becomes conservative, you didn't grow up in a conservative household.
Nobody owes children to society. I don't have children because I despise infants and I don't want the complication, period.
I'm not young, though, but I've never missed having children.
I wonder what would happen if even just 50% of all women of child bearing age moved out of the states that added these abortion restrictions, that would basically destroy the states population in a few generations.
I wonder what the response would be...
Probably something terrible, and possibly illegal that would still somehow be permitted...
I am just a guy from Scandinavia looking at the US with complete disbelief that this shit happen in the west in this day and age.
To everyone fighting for this to be repealed I wish you all the best, and to all of those in favour of these restrictions, just stop voting, and go away.
(Sarcasm) Don't insult the west by lumping the US in with sane respectable nations. (/Sarcasm) The US is a third world country with some lipstick on at this point. We keep hoping to turn things around and put us back on course but. Damn is it exhausting.
I'm in the USA and we're a garbage country. Don't get me wrong, there are good areas and good people. But our broken system allows the craziest minority to have an outsized degree of power and they absolutely take advantage of it.
How a state like Wyoming, with fewer than a million people, can get as much say (in the senate) as my state of California is beyond me. We have almost 80x their population, yet they get an equal number of senators. I want a revolution that adjusts their voice to be proportional to their goddamned size.
What I have understood as a non American, the state would still have the same voting power though? So -75% of people, leaving just angry men I guess.
