OK, this is a couple of weeks old as this came out after SCOTUS decided that the Federal Government had no part in abortion…
Sidenote: isn’t this what the anti-life aficionados have been weeping over for months? For Government to get out of the relationship between pregnant women and their doctors? They should be THANKING the Conservative SCOTUS Justices for doing just that and being ecstatic over it (/snark!).
and didn’t end abortion – just returned it to the States to decide. Simply a reinstatement of Federalism and 10th Amendment enforcement. A most studious decision concerning the Constitution as it NEVER enumerated as a Federal Power and that the killing of a baby was a personal Right. Go ahead, read it – and get back to me on those bits.
In the meantime, we’re now seeing that, in addition to reordering the status quo between the Feds and the States, it has posed a puzzling question to the potential Dads. You know, the males that are necessary for the act that results in a woman to seek out an abortion (putting aside in vitro fertilization for now)?
Is this the real issue, long undiscussed and dismissed, with the guys? Those that the feminists have crowded out of the entire issue with this “MY body, MY choice / Body Autonomy” retort? I’ve never accepted that because it takes two to tango and any baby is a product of both the active sperm and egg donors.
Is this a case of the responsible vs the self-absorbed and self-centered? Or a demonstration of how many guys refuse to grow up (reformatted, abstracted, emphasis mine)?
‘Up 900%’: Roe reversal sends young men rushing to get vasectomies
Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, the idea of not being able to send their lady friends off to the local abortion clinic seems to have prompted young men to take interest in a permanent form of contraception. According to the Washington Post, doctors across the country are seeing a huge spike in requests for vasectomies in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling one week ago, and men under the age of 30 feature prominently among those now seeking the procedure.
A Florida urologist told the outlet that he’s seen vasectomy requests jump from four or five per day to 12 to 18 per day and that young men who do not have children are seeking vasectomies in greater numbers than before. In Los Angeles, doctors have reported a “300% to 400%” increase in vasectomy consultations. A Missouri-based urologist said, “We’re up 900% in people looking to get a vasectomy.”
A side tangent first: Sorry, not all “people” can get a vasectomy regardless of the attempted erasure of biological sex among the transgender theologically faithful but enough of that jab. And let’s be truthful and in support of the guys – some of the ladies are deceitful when they exclaim “Sure, I’ve taken all my pills” (or some such equivalent). But that’s not the reason for this.
It’s about guys not stepping into the Responsibility area of Life – SCOTUS just gave them a big shove in making such a decision and we’re seeing how many are running at warp speed away from it (as there is always risk in taking part in a physical act that can result in a New Life). The rest of the post is a few more stats but it does beg the question: Is this about men (or from my standpoint, selfish boys) just wanting to be able to play the field without any financial responsibility?
An abortion is cheap compared to raising a child and as any REAL Dad knows, the money is the least of that expense. It requires a complete dedication to both that baby and the mother (the purpose of what marriage historically been – to raise children in a stable environment and not to “fulfill my needs”. It means putting yourself LAST at all times – including your needs and wants. When you created that . And the snowflakes boys of today can’t or don’t want to handle it. Yes, I am assuming that these “under the age of 30” are single and don’t want “entanglements” that would upset their lives. They lack the spirit and loyalty required for real commitment.
It is one thing to have married that gal and have made the decision that enough is enough. It’s something else to do so because of not wanting to interrupt your “serial instant gratification”. Or that they really are afraid of Adulting and growing up.
