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.

I mean, interesting strategy to just agree with most everything I said in your third comment but pretend you aren't agreeing with me.

I'm glad you've come around, though.

The only thing left you need to understand is that because of the legislation that you now agree is hurting women, it is fair to pass legislation that also hurts men in the same way.

equality.

you got that?

it seems like you want to talk about coulda woulda shouldas instead of actually addressing the problems, while addressing the problems is a much more effective method of democratic management.

Yes, if and maybes are fun for you, but the legislation proposed here is a practical response to the targeted, harmful legislation already passed.

You keep saying this is a practical response, but won't say how, so I'm done with you. You're the one talking in hypotheticals here, as if bills with no chance of getting passed are actually going to accomplish something. You just keep repeating the same statement about these bills, with zero factual basis.

Good luck out there, because it sure seems like nothing is getting through to you, and I see you talking in the same circles with others now that I've looked around the thread more.

I have said how it is a practical response in every single comment, you are failing to comprehend what I'm saying.

legislation has been passed in the US that is harming women and taking away their bodily autonomy.

The same legislation should be passed for men as well.

this legislation has a "factual basis", despite your believies, and is killing women right now.

your contention that doing nothing is better than fighting back. that is cowardly and foolish. sticking your head in the sand isn't going to help here.

you claim this is ineffectual, while your proposed solution Is to do nothing", and facilitate the process of religious extremists passibg legislation targeting and harming vulnerable populations.

that is your path.

disgusting, to me.

so I'll continue to set you straight.
