Aren't men offended that the GOP is now going to regimenting their personal lives, as well?

And that the law will command their own sex lives, their behavior in their own beds?

Where is the money for these men to take care of their families and maintain a lifestyle befitting something more than the people they mock as breeders and welfare queens?

Because those circumstances are not the product of racial inferiority, but poverty. People used to be berated for having more children than they could afford to care for. Can men afford this?

In the past, men not only supported the right of their partners to contraception and abortion, but demanded it (or at least demanded the women take care of it and still keep up with the sexual aspects of their relationships) to keep their quality of life from going down to a point they were unable to provide for them.

Is anyone thinking ahead about what this means?
Or do they expect to break the laws for their own families, or think these onerous laws will only fall on women they consider unworthy?
