As members of Georgia’s House of Representatives debate whether to prohibit abortions for women more than 20 weeks pregnant, House Democrats planned to introduce their own reproductive rights plan: No more vasectomies that leave "thousands of children ... deprived of birth."

Rep. Yasmin Neal, a Democrat from the Atlanta suburb of Jonesboro, planned to introduce a bill Wednesday that would prevent men from vasectomies unless needed to avert serious injury or death.

“If we legislate women’s bodies, it’s only fair that we legislate men’s,” said Neal, who said she wanted to introduce a bill that would generate emotion and conversation the way anti-abortion bills do. “There are too many problems in the state. Why are you under the skirts of women? I’m sure there are other places to be."



/LOL i love it. i hope it passes. How many guys would freak out. then again most wouldn't care.

its a great way to get people to see both sides of the issue.

Why? Red meat distraction from real problems that might actually be resolved, but only to the detriment of Georgia's financial elite...

Ha, that would be pretty funny if it passes. It's even supported by the bible, if anyone cares to actually read it (most people don't).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onan

After Onan's brother Er died, his father Judah told him to fulfill his duty as a brother-in-law to Tamar, by giving her offspring. Centuries later, in the days of Moses, this practice was formulated into a law of a Levirate marriage, where the brother of the deceased would provide offspring to the childless widow[2] to preserve the family line.[1]
However, when Onan had sex with Tamar, he disregarded this principle when he withdrew before climax[3] and "spilled his seed (or semen) on the ground", since any child born would not legally be considered his heir.[4] This he did several times,[5] disregarding the principle of a Levirate union, and was accordingly sentenced to death by Yahweh (God) for this wickedness. (Genesis 38:8-10)

They're trolling. If republicans want to ban abortion because it prevents babies, then theoretically we should also ban vasectomies and tube tying. The bible explicitly says this is wrong. It's even listed before the passage about how gay sex is wrong and how eating lobster is wrong. It's such a big deal that it's the first book in the bible, Genesis.

That's awesome! The answer to government sticking its nose where it doesn't belong is for the government to enter in a us vs. them pissing match.

If you aren't ok with the recent legislation that we're wasting money paying people for yet you're ok with this flagrant waste of money that we pay for people to produce this garbage just because of "that'll show em!" then you are a hypocrite of the highest sort.

these days its hard to tell whats trolling and whats not :\

 

[HomerJS]

Haha. Bout damn time.

Next VA home of the new vaginal probe law, they need to introduce a requirement before men get a Viagra perscription a prostate stimulation and stress test are performed. Since some men experience spontaneous erections while getting prostate "tickled" it would prove their ED is mental.

 

[LagunaX]

Funny.
I hope someone other that the US taxpayer is going to fund all the welfare kids...

No, this is a completely legitimate tactic to shed light as to what horrible shitstain subhuman garbage republicans are. It's getting national attention, isn't it? What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Biased flagrant party bashing. Of course. If you had any care about the issue you would be referring to members who are behind the bill you despise, not by parties.

Indeed, you just verified that you are a hypocrite.

 

[Jaskalas]

Good, show the world that the two parties cannot coexist. Sooner we'll all get what we want through state law, in our separate states.

This Union is over.

lulz

 

[mcmilljb]

The joke is on liberals though. Most religious guys don't get a vasectomy. lol

Besides comparing a vasectomy or tubal ligation to an abortion is way out there like Santorum's ideas.

 

[OutHouse]

Ha, that would be pretty funny if it passes. It's even supported by the bible, if anyone cares to actually read it (most people don't).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onan

so explain how not following gods orders to impregnate your brothers widow to continue your fathers line by not squirting the baby gravy into her. compare to the news story??

Onan was killed because he was disobedient to gods law. so how does that fit in with preventing men from getting vasectomies unless needed to avert serious injury or death?

 

[Bitek]

Every Sperm is Sacred!

Hats off to Monty Python.

Maybe Santorum needs advice on spotting witches too?

 

[davmat787]

Now that we have heard from both the D's and R's, we need a party to suggest that women perform more oral sex, instead of intercourse, as a primary form of birth control. I can just see some crotchety old senator saying: "and don't forget to swallow, there is a lot of protein in that stuff, and it makes your hair shiny".

I approve :thumbsup:

This is the south, need all the newly born possible future Democrat voters as possible.

 

[StinkyPinky]

It's not the same thing though if you think about it.

Semen is nothing without an egg. If you left semen lying around it would never become a human. That's not the case for a fertilized egg. :whiste:

 

[Xcobra]

ZOMG! does this mean they will also ban fapping in the near future?

 

[ch33zw1z]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onan

This is no way supports what you're saying. Onan disobeyed impregnating is brother's wife after he passed by using the pull out method, there's no "thou shalt have no permanent baby making disconnects"

It's an order from God to nail your brothers wife to preserve the bloodline, but if Onan had a vasectomy and finished inside her, no baby would be created, thus fulfilling his duty regardless, and he would not have been sentenced to death by the Old Testament God. You know, the fire and brimstone God, not the lovey dovey God of the New Testament.

 

[PeshakJang]

Dems have jumped the shark.

I for one definitely can't tell the difference between a fetus and a sperm.

 

[Genx87]

Democrats, the party of science.

 

[dmcowen674]

Yes, because it is murder.
