A law requiring vasectomies? Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will not stand for this blatant violation of a (male) person’s bodily autonomy!

On Sunday, Cruz tweeted an article from a conservative news site about Alabama state Rep. Rolanda Hollis’ (D) bill requiring men to undergo vasectomies at the age of 50 or after the birth of their third child.

“Yikes. A government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everything…literally!” Cruz, a staunch opponent of abortion rights, wrote.

The Republican has advocated for a full ban on abortion with no exceptions, stripping funding for Planned Parenthood, and allowing companies to deny birth control coverage.

Under HB238, introduced by Hollis on Thursday, men would be legally required to undergo a vasectomy procedure “at his own expense” once he turns 50 or has a third child, “whichever comes first.”

“Under existing law, there are no restrictions on the reproductive rights of men,” Hollis wrote in the bill’s synopsis.

3. One thing I never got about Republicans...

For such people that SUPPOSEDLY believe in small government and government not interfering in people's personal lives, they do a lot of interfering with people's personal lives.

vasectomies should be covered by insurance.

At least they were through Aetna when my ex-husband had one and through Cigna when my current partner had one.

9. No man is EVER going to tell me what medical care

I can or cannot obtain.

11. We have a good friend who sure got it right: after his second child was born he didn't want any

more children and had a vasectomy. His wife had recently had an unwanted, accidental pregnancy and had a termination of the pregnancy. He was being a responsible adult. It turned out that his wife had a worsening mental illness and eventually needed full time care (she had also tried to hurt the children). It was a sad story but I think he did the right thing.

15. I agree totally with the bill but

she left out men shouldn't be allowed to obtain Viagra or any drug for erectile dysfunction.

Texas is a hot mess. Period.

I wish Beto had listened to the Houston op-ed.......

Come home to Texas and defeat Cornyn.

He did not.
