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.

      Someone needs to let these performative politicians know that they won’t be able to logic their opponents out of wanting something that they didn’t use logic to get to the point of wanting.

      Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

      No it isn’t.

      this bill is an equally valid response to reproductive rights and a bodily autonomy being stolen and withheld from women.

      If reproductive rights and bodily autonomy are being stolen and withheld from American women, then reproductive Rights and bodily autonomy should be stolen and withheld from American men.

        It’s posturing that allows their opponents to run ads about how they waste time with stupid fucking fake bills instead of actually trying to get shit done.

        I know it might be hard to see now, but an eye for an eye is how we got here in the first place.

        These joke bills do nothing of any value for anyone that understands that the bills aren’t meant to be taken literally seriously, and only make idiots mad at “the demonrats” for “bein dumbasses while our country burns”.
