Dem Lawmakers Introduce 'Contraception Begins at Erection' Bills in Multiple States.
Dem Lawmakers Introduce 'Contraception Begins at Erection' Bills in Multiple States.
"If you think it's absurd to regulate men, then you should think it's equally absurd to regulate women," said the author of an Ohio bill, who is also an OB-GYN.
Faced with relentless Republican attacks on reproductive freedom including efforts to give embryos and fetuses legal rights from the moment of conception, Democratic lawmakers in two states have recently introduced legislation that would ban men from ejaculating for purposes other than making babies, with some exceptions.

What does this serve other than performative at best and worryingly close to mimicking the actual bigoted actions that are taking place right now? Please, I need to see some outreach to communities that are hurting, not 'gotcha' moments that do nothing but circle the drain.

Sometimes you need a "gotcha" moment to make headlines and hopefully reacha few people who are so delusional they think prohibiting abortion is in any way related to saving lives.
They can donthe outreach to, it just doesn't garner media attention. That's not to say they're doing it. They are Democrats, after all. Ineffective and performative are on-brand.

You just summed up everything the Dem leadership ever does to #Resist 😮💨
-
this is literally outreach to those communities by applying the same absurd standards that are being applied to the current victims to the oppressors.
This is a valid and effective proposal to counter the reproductive rights recently stolen from women.

Nah, this is performative nonsense to grab some headlines and say, "See, we're doing stuff," that doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of actually passing and changing peoples' lives. Meanwhile, the Republicans are running roughshod all over the Democrats on things that actually have pretty immediate, overwhelmingly negative impacts on peoples' lives, like the shitshow that is DOGE, and the Democrats are just angrily wagging their collective finger and going, "Why, Mr. President, if you don't knock that off, I'm going to really get cross with you. I daresay, I may even use uncouth language in reference to your person, despite the esteemed office you occupy!" They aren't even making token efforts at trying to derail any of his cabinet picks and get some GOP defectors to help block them.
They've tried nothing and thrown up their hands, so now it's time to draw out the tried and true playbook of looking as incompetent and out of touch at a key moment in history as they can possibly manage to do, short of outright switching party membership and taking up the GOP mantle themselves.

I'm with you on this stuff. Leave this stuff to The Daily Show correspondents. This is as serious as the Red, White, and Blue Land proposal.
If I'm looking for who I'm voting for and saw:
-
Tried but failed to get school breakfast refunded.
-
Tried to troll Republicans with the Ant-Whacking bill.
Number 1 may have also failed to accomplish anything, but they spent their time in office at least attempting to do what they were elected to do.
This stuff feels like lame Ron/Rand Paul crap trying to make worthless votes look like they're actually principles. If this is the best use of time they can find, we're in trouble. They need to be out figuring out why they lost to literal criminals, not coming up with ways to "slam" them and doing their version of Steven Miller's searching out obscure old regulation to impede the burning of our rights and protections.

The last thing Dems should be doing right now is performative bullshit.
-
Yep. If I learned anything in the last 15 years, it's that conservatives do not care about hypocrisy. As long as their team wins, it doesn't matter to them at all how they won.
-
That's the dem playbook though. Gotta keep chugging!
-
-
This is how they are resisting? We are so fucked.
-
I hope some babies are being produced in that fucking that's happening to you, otherwise.. 🔗🚓
-
Meanwhile in the same state, conservative are still on the offensive :
Despite this, anti-abortion advocates like Beigel are trying to reverse it. He is the president of End Abortion Ohio.
He said that in the coming weeks, lawmakers will introduce a new bill to criminalize abortion totally.

I've committed this crime 3 times today already. My body my choice.
-
Your body, my choice. I'm gonna send you pictures of nekked grammas to prevent any more crime being done.
-
You've only committed it 3 times? I've committed it probably 5 times if not more.
-
In before waiting for the rookie numbers comment to drop.

-
When I have to see news like this on my computer screen, I just sit here shaking my fist.
-
This comment wins. Game over.
-
-
we aren't far enough from kellogg to propose this without too many people nodding along and agreeing with the premise (or at least that expelling sperm without trying to have kids is bad).
-
Bullshit. Contraception begins at impure thoughts!
-
And remember kids, If you have a sexy dream you're a criminal!
-
Women should hide themselves to prevent erections
/s
-
I suppose bills like these take less effort than acting like a real opposition.
-
Actually a good idea! Too bad
RepublicansNazis lack the ability to think critically or independently. -
The grift is real, they do not care.

I read a few mangas about this on certain sites...
