Bill introduced to regulate men's reproductive health

[TorchTheWitch]

43. you don't need a doctor's prescription for condoms or toothpaste

Nor the appointment with a doctor for the work up and exam in order to get that prescription.

You may have noticed that the assault on women bill only applies to the birth control pill (whether used for birth control or not) and not all the other various over-the-counter birth control methods like condoms (guess what, women buy them, too! - these days we're not only expected to take the pregnancy risk but pay for it ourselves as well), and various other spermicides whether used in conjunction with a diaphram or not. And that's because they already aren't covered by insurance because they don't require a doctor's prescription nor the doctor's visit in order for the doctor to write the prescription. Women have already been paying out of pocket for over-the-counter birth control all the way along just as men have with buying condoms.

And PRIVACY laws??? Seriously??? Since Roe v. Wade that made it law that a woman can have an abortion if she wants one do you have ANY idea how many subsequent laws have been passed to BUTCHER that privacy in EVERY state??? The amount of humiliating and expensive privacy invading hoops that have to be jumped through are an outrage. Three or more day forced wait times (because us wimmins are so dumb we don't REALLY know if we want an abortion or not), forced lectures and BULLYING to "choose life" (because us wimmins are so dumb we don't REALLY know that being pregnant means you're going to have a baby), and on and on and now these grotesque ultrasound bills on top of everything else whether an invasive legal rape or a worthless non-invasive ultrasound that is not capable of detecting a pregnancy in the first place for the VAST majority of abortion seakers. Nevermind that Roe v. Wade was passed based on the PRIVACY of a woman's choice between her and her doctor. And let's not forget the utterly foul miscarriage laws when in the VAST majority of those cases the pregnancy was WANTED not to mention the other utterly foul "partial birth" abortion bill that made no provision for the health of the mother but not even her LIFE when that's the ONLY reason for them, and those pregnancies are WANTED.

And what about vasectomies that every single health insurance company pays for with no humiliating and invasive non-medical and expensive hoop jumping complete with wait times, forced lectures and bullying that nobody bats an eyelash at??? Is it possibly because nobody is all "concerned" that them mens is so dumb they have not a clue what a vasectomy does and need to be forced to wait for a few days to try to wrap their silly empty little heads around it and lectured and non-medically invaded and bullied because the sperm is so sacred? Or could it possibly be that nobody is the slightest bit interested in controlling the lives of MEN?

And since you brought up this supposed unfairness of men having to buy condoms (if they feel like it - it's not like THEY have to worry about getting pregnant), how about all the female reproductive issues stuff that women have to buy out-of-pocket compared to men. Raise your hands, guys, and let us know how much money you've spent out-of-pocket on maxi-pads, tampons, spermicides, pregnancy tests, ovulation tests, yeast infection preparations, douches, vaginal odor eliminators, pain meds/heating pads/muscle relaxers for cramps, other meds for bloating, other meds for PMS symptoms, lost time at work for your reproductive monthly suffering, etc., etc.

Just TRY crying the blues about how men should be getting "free" condoms. When any man's out-of-pocket expenses for dealing with their reproductive issues comes anywhere in the same universe as a woman's THEN you can start crying.
