I would call it forced birth control, not sterilization. LisaM Mar 2024 #59

They are sometimes reversible . . . markpkessinger Mar 2024 #75

A vasectomy doesn't have any impact on one's ability to engage in sexual assault. brooklynite Mar 2024 #8

Correct, but pray tell what would it accomplish? boston bean Mar 2024 #12

It would protect women from being forced to give birth Demobrat Mar 2024 #35

Post #7 has a solution for that Hekate Mar 2024 #13

Yeah, but the raped woman doesn't then have to carry his baby MadameButterfly Mar 2024 #23

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2024 #36

While I'm not a fan of this I do like the idea of vasectomies for all over the are of 13. Hope22 Mar 2024 #10

Red states like Louisiana not only want to force birth even when it KILLS the woman, they also.. Hekate Mar 2024 #11

That's not a great analogy. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2024 #33

Changing my question so you can win is a weak argument. Irish_Dem Mar 2024 #34

Demonstrating why your argument was weak was weak argumentation on my part? Act_of_Reparation Mar 2024 #38

That's a weak question. intheflow Mar 2024 #66

It is in fact a perfect analogy. I'm sorry you have not been paying attention over the past few years. Hekate Mar 2024 #74

What part of offering a bill as a protest don't you understand? xmas74 Mar 2024 #80

Not a fan. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2024 #3

It won't pass, but maybe it will make some men consider what it's like to lose bodily autonomy. Nevilledog Mar 2024 #5

The bill is only for sexual predators, and while that's a legal designation, there are a lot of men out there who WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2024 #6

I disagree. Nevilledog Mar 2024 #9

Do they ever connect that with other people losing their autonomy? or is it only for themselves? WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2024 #14

I've seen both. "Men should be inviolate" vs. "I've done nothing wrong so it doesn't apply" Nevilledog Mar 2024 #18

My question is, do either of those thoughts get them to "OH! I guess it's wrong if we do it to women, too, and I will WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2024 #19

Not usually. The misogyny is strong and the cognitive dissonance is stronger. Nevilledog Mar 2024 #20

Yeah so in the end that's why I'm not a fan of these kinds of bills/sentiments. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2024 #21

I understand. Nevilledog Mar 2024 #24
