provision that all men, even married, must wear a condom when having sex. Then there will be no more abortions, no more unwanted pregnancies. Why no responsibility for men in this debate?

Can you think of any laws that give government the power to make decisions about the male body?
In a telling moment during Wednesdays confirmation hearings, Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh appeared dumbfounded when he was asked by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) whether he knows of any laws that give the government the power to control male bodies.
Can you think of any laws that give government the power to make decisions about the male body? Harris asked.
After a long pause and a bizarre back-and-forth in which Kavanaugh asked for a more specific question and then claimed he thought Harris was asking about medical procedures that are unique to men, the judge eventually admitted that he could not think of any laws governing the male body.

(8,231 posts)problem. Men shouldn't even get a fucking say in this. Of course there is no responsibility for men. We are too concerned with their got damn erections and how long they can maintain them.
We are too busy creating apps so men can just order viagra from their fucking phone so they can have sex with women and shoot their irresponsible orgasms everywhere.
I'VE FUCKING HAD IT UP TO HERE. If we are going to have forced births I DEMAND FORCED VASECTOMIES.

(10,133 posts)We have the technology to store sperm cells for several decades, so I propose the following abortion prevention measure:
-collect samples from young men in their late teens
-store the samples cryogenically
-snip, snip
-when and if a couple desire a child, they can petition a court to defrost a sample
There: we can eliminate almost all abortions under this simple plan - and put a dent in population growth.

I suspect that there will be an increased demand for tubal litigation.
