If I was female and anyone told me they had control over my body
I would be as pissed as pissed can be . Lets have a new rule , lets find a way to control mans bodies , take away their viagra which is sick anyway , real sick and tell them they have no choice the balls come off and see how they handle this .

I am a male and damn sick of this control over women , it's completely un fair and people know it . It's not only un-fair it's criminal .

Who the hell has the right to control anyone elses personal choice and who came up with this insane idea should be shot .

2. Hear, hear!
Any man who wants to tell me what to do with my reproductive system should give up rights to control his own. Where's my scalpel? :evilgrin:

4. Forced vaccinations,
laws against drugs, they already have declared a right to dictate what you do with your own body.

12. Not to mention sodomy laws, which though now uncnstitutional, told many
people - male and female - what they were allowed to do with their own bodies.

6. The 'idiots who came up with this insane idea'
are 3 millenniums of 'religious leaders' that understood that females having power renders their 'religion' powerless. Females tend to look out for society as a whole. Those seeking power w/ cloud beings were laughed at until forcible CONTROLS were put in place.

8. At least one preacher has spoken about this
If I remember correctly and I'm just paraphrasing...

John Hagee, the apocalyptic preacher making news recently now and then, actually defined witchcraft as being when a woman 'decides' to become frigid.

Never mind that frigidity is not usually a choice.

16. All I can say about that is "wtf?"
Witchcraft is when women decide to become frigid? So, if the Bible verse about not suffering a witch to live (leaving aside the minor translation issue about the Hebrew word actually meaning poisoner, but that was what witches were thought to do) becomes law, is Hagee calling for the death penalty for all frigid women? And if so, how will that condition be determined? All sorts of scenarios, most of them pretty distressing, come to mind.

11. It's 21st century slavery.
This male will fight any pro-criminalization freak who piously claims to be "pro-life."

"The right of the people to be secure IN THEIR PERSONS... shall not be violated." End of fucking story.

Criminalizing a medical procedure to rid what a human being considers a parasite and not a "human life" is just plain evil.

Forcing anyone to carry a pregnancy to term and bear a child against that person's will is just plain slavery.

14. Watch your back
There are plenty of people who think that it's not such
a big deal if a Republican gets to nominate the next
Supreme Court Justice (=bye bye Roe v. Wade).

15. Roe isn't the half of it, but yeah.
One more SCROTUS appointment and you'll have the wishy-washy asshole Kennedy marginalized, no longer the swing vote. Roe is not toast, it's burnt to a crisp, and they'll find new ways to make American citizens slaves to a corporatocracy that we haven't yet imagined.
