Nutjobs want to abolish IVF because of pornography

Mary Szoch of the Family Research Council is really digging deep to rationalize the organization's opposition to IVF: "Pornography is an integral part of the IVF process ... That's not good for a marriage."

When anyone comes out against things like porn, we instantly know that's a person that watches a whole lot of porn.

So they put him in a private room with girly magazines.

That’s it. That’s the explanation.

18. Why not have a couple's room?

Donating to a sperm bank, I get why the sample is provided solo…but for IVF, assuming it's a couple, why not let the lady lend a hand? I can't see it matters who's operating the equipment, so long as the product is properly collected…

9. There are porn magazines in the rooms where the men go to produce the necessary sperm to fertilize the eggs.

Basically the men have to masturbate in this phase of the process. The magazines are there if the man feels that he needs stimulation. The family member who went through this procedure found that part amusing and a bit embarrassing. For all I know, it may have been Playboy, which isn't exactly hard-core porn. Puritan Pukes.

10. You just reminded me of a scene in "Made In America"- the Whoopi Goldberg/

Ted Danson film. Her daughter is at the sperm bank, trying to get the name of the sperm donor her mother used. Her friend, played by Will Smith, has been talked into donating. At first, he is quite uncomfortable, but later in the scene, he asks for another cup.

15. It came out in 1993, made while Whoopi and Ted were a couple.

In the movie, Whoopi's daughter, having learned that her mother used artificial insem8nation, wants to find the sperm donor, who turns out to be lecherous car salesman Danson. You can find it on youtube, and possibly streaming services.

who had to masturbate to provide semen to be checked to make sure his vasectomy took. So I suppose vasectomies will also be on the list of things these wackadoodles want banned.

13. That makes sense.

That's a good question about banning vasectomies. Will MAGA actually want to deny men the ability to sleep around so the women can fulfill their God-given duty? I'm not sure, though, because they seem intent on punishing women only.

Apparently, the Republican Party still remembers - And wants it to be the norm.
