1. This fails to recognize the supremacy of male sexual pleasure over EVERYTHING.

Its far more pleasurable to prevent women from accessing reproductive health care.

2. OMG this is great.

[jmbar2]

3. It's based on a brilliant twitter thread by Gabriel Blair, aka Designmom

http://designmom.com/twitter-thread-abortion/

But this presentation of it is brilliant - all the key points in one great meme.

5. I had an OP on Blair's essay...

... the comments were interesting.

11. Interesting indeed!

The premise seems to have struck a chord or two...

Loved the mansplaining chart!

[Iggo]

25. Holy moley, I wish I hadn't read some of those replies!

Couple of them people I can’t look at right anymore.

[uriel1972]

33. Yeah I looked...

Hand me the brain bleach.

[ShazzieB]

34. Wow, yeah, that thread is a hot mess!

I wish I'd seen it sooner, so I could have responded in a timely fashion. With "beating a dead horse" memes.

[Trueblue1968]

37. HE can cut off this thingy.

[Takket]

6. thanks for finding that...

i actually thought of this as soon as i started reading the OP and was going to post that "someone on DU wrote how all unwanted pregnancies are caused by men", and lo and behold you have it right here!

Thanks!

4. Where's the "insult/annoy Lorena Bobbitt" entry?

[ornotna]

7. Very good, reminds me of a Rape Crisis campaign in Scotland a few years back

10. wow - that's great!

[ChrisF1961]

8. Wear a condom!

[KentuckyWoman]

18. real life effectiveness 79%

Even if every use is perfect 98%

Either way ... there's going to be some level of baby making involved. The only way to avoid pregnancy is "don't".

[ChrisF1961]

24. Yeah

[KentuckyWoman]

39. Evel Knievel couldn't make that leap.

I never said anything about not using condoms or pushing "abstinence only". You made that leap yourself. I think perhaps you missed my point ... or I didn't type the exact right words for you to understand my point ... I think we actually agree.

You are correct - Condoms are the best tool men have to lower the risk of creating a child if they are going to engage. I am also correct, failure happens. It isn't 100%. Men need to understand lowering the risk is great, but it isn't 100%. Choose wisely.

[ChrisF1961]

40. Thanks for

clarifying your point.

[Takket]

9. and yet...

as rethugs around the nation pass laws demanding to know if a woman who even had a legitimate miscarriage do EVERYTHING in her power to stop it, and threaten to even charge them with murder...

are any bill proposed to sanction the male orgasm?

Are men anywhere ever questioned as to why they did not wear a condom? or orgasm in a place other than her vagina?

are any laws being proposed that would hold a man legally responsible for having an orgasm inside a woman without understanding beforehand that she may want an abortion if she becomes pregnant?

[Lettuce Be]

12. Now someone write the version for women cuz it's a doozy

[Warpy]

13. Whoopi Goldberg answered that question in one of her old routines.

Let's just say she cut to the chase.

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Seen from a tweet several months back. . .

WANT TO STOP ABORTION?

Then stop it at the source.
Vasectomies are reversible.
Make every young man have one.
When he’s deemed financially and emotionally fit to be a father, it will be reversed.
Oh, wait a second.
What’s that?
Did the idea of regulating a man’s body make you uncomfortable?
Then shut the fuck up and mind your own fucking business.

[usaf-vet]

15. Make Viagra $250.00 / pill limit of three per prescription. Make it a Class A (Anti-Abortion) drug.

Require the person getting the drug to go to the Doctor's office to pick it up.

Treat it like Oxycodone or Codeine.

Limit the number of pharmacies in a county or state (see abortion laws for equality) to one that can dispense the drug.

Not covered by insurance. Out of pocket only.

The wife must be notified by the pharmacy EACH time the drug is dispensed.

NO INTERNET SALES.

Possessing the drug without a prescription would be a felony. Requiring public notice and jail time.

[RobertDevereaux]

16. This has the added side benefit that . . .

. . . men who are anti-choice (i.e., anti-women) will stop having children they can propagandize with their toxicity.

Cue "You've Got to Be Taught / Before It's Too Late."

[Bob_in_VA]

17. Is this available in printed form?

Or even in a downloadable form? If so, I want a few copies.

Maybe hardier souls than I could even distribute copies to every person participating in an anti-abortion protest. Particularly the men there.

[jmbar2]

20. Right click on the image, then click "save as"

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. Not only is the content fantastic, but it is stylistically brilliant.

Totally captures the "PSAs," if you will, of the 50s and 60s.

[ShazzieB]

32. That retro photo is a great touch! 🤣

[Paladin]

21. My favorite part: "but you knew that already!" (nt)

[pandr32]

22. It should have included getting a vasectomy

These days they can be reversible if someone decides they want to have children.

[MineralMan]

23. Funny! I knew that stuff when I was in high school in the early 1960s.

So, I never impregnated anyone. Amazing what a little knowledge can accomplish. That is why we need frank, complete sex education for everyone at every school.

[Behind the Aegis]

26. Homosexuality has worked well for me.

[roamer65]

27. Go bi.

It doubles the chance of a date on a Saturday night.

[patphil]

29. Celibacy will do it every time.

35. Does the Jell-O need to be the green variety?

[Beartracks]

36. LOL

Would love to see this go viral.
