(33,620 posts)24. Yes, I recognize that.
I just think it sounds like a rash decision if "one of the parties wants to get rid of birth control" or Dobbs or Mifepristone violating the Comstock Act is the reason. Republics haven't done so yet, and they are not going to do so, because they're bound to lose, to paraphrase Woody Guthrie.
Again, if people want to do voluntarily sterilize themselves, it's their body and their choice. But, TO ME, it's not necessary simply because of Dobbs.
