Faced with relentless Republican attacks on reproductive freedom including efforts to give embryos and fetuses legal rights from the moment of conception, Democratic lawmakers in two states have recently introduced legislation that would ban men from ejaculating for purposes other than making babies, with some exceptions.

    This bill actually makes sense lol. If you want to have sex with someone, at least have the decency to use a condom and not put your partner at unnecessary risk just because you are lazy.

    The last thing Dems should be doing right now is performative bullshit.

      Yep. If I learned anything in the last 15 years, it’s that conservatives do not care about hypocrisy. As long as their team wins, it doesn’t matter to them at all how they won.

    What does this serve other than performative at best and worryingly close to mimicking the actual bigoted actions that are taking place right now? Please, I need to see some outreach to communities that are hurting, not ‘gotcha’ moments that do nothing but circle the drain.

      Sometimes you need a “gotcha” moment to make headlines and hopefully reacha few people who are so delusional they think prohibiting abortion is in any way related to saving lives.

      They can donthe outreach to, it just doesn’t garner media attention. That’s not to say they’re doing it. They are Democrats, after all. Ineffective and performative are on-brand.

      this is literally outreach to those communities by applying the same absurd standards that are being applied to the current victims to the oppressors.

      This is a valid and effective proposal to counter the reproductive rights recently stolen from women.

      I’m with you on this stuff. Leave this stuff to The Daily Show correspondents. This is as serious as the Red, White, and Blue Land proposal.

      If I’m looking for who I’m voting for and saw:

      1. Tried but failed to get school breakfast refunded.

      2. Tried to troll Republicans with the Ant-Whacking bill.

      Number 1 may have also failed to accomplish anything, but they spent their time in office at least attempting to do what they were elected to do.

      This stuff feels like lame Ron/Rand Paul crap trying to make worthless votes look like they’re actually principles. If this is the best use of time they can find, we’re in trouble. They need to be out figuring out why they lost to literal criminals, not coming up with ways to “slam” them and doing their version of Steven Miller’s searching out obscure old regulation to impede the burning of our rights and protections.

      Feels pretty fitting that lawmakers are using their powers to protest. I wish they would be generally more vocal, but maybe I’m just insulated by my surroundings. What kinds of resistance were you hoping to see?

    Meanwhile in the same state, conservative are still on the offensive :

    Despite this, anti-abortion advocates like Beigel are trying to reverse it. He is the president of End Abortion Ohio.

    He said that in the coming weeks, lawmakers will introduce a new bill to criminalize abortion totally.

    USA needs so much more than this funny way to oppose Nazis, yet, humor is a good tool not to be neglected.

    we aren’t far enough from kellogg to propose this without too many people nodding along and agreeing with the premise (or at least that expelling sperm without trying to have kids is bad).

    Actually a good idea! Too bad Republicans Nazis lack the ability to think critically or independently.
