Why doesn't the pro-life crowd condemn and call for a ban of male vasectomy? [View All]

[Union Yes]

I grew up in a fundie evangelical "born again" church until I walked out of that church at the age of 14.

They viewed women's independence in a worse light than their 'satan'. An independent woman was their 'satan'. The preacher gave sermons about how it was a woman's duty to be 100% subservient to her husband and it was her duty to be barefoot and pregnant.

The point is, these folks were as anti-choice/anti-women's independence as it gets. They even formed a chapter of an organization called the "Lambs of Christ". Their sole purpose- protest at abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood clinics. They called for a ban on all abortion, birth control pills, IUD, and any form of BC available to a woman.

These wingnuts, including my parents, were extremely vocal in their Authoritarian views against women's reproductive freedom. I've worked hard at informing my mother over the years since. She's gone through a lot of change since then and has dropped those fundy views.

The point of all this..

NEVER, NOT ONCE did I ever hear one of these vocal wingnuts ever say a bad word about male vasectomies.

In fact, it was well known that one of the men in the church, a father of 4 had a vasectomy after the birth of their 4th child. The church members knew it and accepted it like nothing happened.

It's common for church members to have coffee and treats after a church service. Christians call it 'fellowship'. Church members sit at small tables in the church's dining area and gossip. I remember sitting at one of these fellowships with my dad and other men from the church. The guy that had the vasectomy was also sitting at the table. Part of that conversation- All of the men at that table were talking and joking about getting vasectomies themselves. At that time, I was about 9 years old or so. They thought I was too young to understand what they were talking about.

Please remember, these were fundy Christian men.

That was about 30 years ago. I will never forget that 'fellowship' and what was said at that table.

At the age of 9, I saw hypocrisy for the first time. It started to change my own beliefs.

Christianity NEVER challenges male authority. NEVER.

A man can freely get a vasectomy, but if a woman practices reproductive freedom then she must be condemned.

There's a word for that. It's called..
Hypocrisy

Has anyone who has read this far into this OP ever heard the anti-choice fundy crowd ever challenge or call for a ban on male vasectomy?

Of all the wingnuttedness that I have been exposed to in my life, I have never once heard them call for a ban on vasectomies.

Why the hypocrisy?

Because male Authoritarianism will never be challenged in fundy Christian churches.

............................................

Just to be clear..

I support 100%, reproductive freedom and family planning for all women and men.

I wrote this OP to point out the hypocrisy of the anti-choice/anti-abortion/anti-reproductive freedom crowd.
