Sex / Guv'ment House dems want to be the boss of your man parts
Posted by Gwynedd Stuart @gwynnstu on Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 11:33 AM
HB 954 — which would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy versus the 24 weeks the law now allows for, and would make fewer concessions for the health of the mother — goes before the House Judiciary Committee today. In response, House democrats are having a little fun and proposing legislation that would completely ban vasectomies.
In a press release, House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams said, “The Republican attack on women’s reproductive rights is unconscionable. What is more deplorable is the hypocrisy of HB 954’s author [Doug McKillip, R-Athens]. If we follow his logic, we believe it is the obligation of this General Assembly to assert an equally invasive state interest in the reproductive habits of men and substitute the will of the government over the will of adult men.”
Wouldn't that be CRAZY? For the government to tell men what they can and can't do to prevent unwanted pregnancies?
