New Hampshire Democrat Bobbi Boudman is running for state rep in Carroll County 7 (Ossipee, Tuftonboro, Wolfeboro), and she’s had a thought about the problem of unwanted pregnancies. Women “can’t share their DNA,” so men’s DNA needs to be regulated.
I’m not kidding; check this out.
The most startling thing about this rant might be the implication that an unborn baby is a life (a developing life form). That’s a radical notion for an abortion-or-bust left that is happy to kill that life at birth and, depending on whom you ask, some weeks or months after.
I’m sure they’ll bring it up in Dem caucus counseling should she manage to get elected.
As for the other thing, if we accept that a woman (whatever that is) cannot “share” her DNA but a man can, then are we abandoning #BelieveWomen #NoMeansNo, and all the assorted #Consent hashtags? We’d have to agree that a woman’s body is not hers. It is not her choice to grab the bait, yank the bobber or swallow the hook.
She’s the castle keep, and he’s the payload in the trebuchet lobbed over the battlement.
The last time I checked, that was called rape, and we have laws against that, not to mention millions of protest hours about women being the final word on what goes inside them (unless it’s a COVID vaccine).
YOU are the gatekeeper of your DNA. It is your property, secured in your vault and guarded by you. Or not.
As a bipedal female hominid running as a Democrat for elected office, are you renouncing all of that in pursuit of your premise?
And it is not some new idea for Bobbi, by the way. Last year she publicly announced the same plan.
I agree that the best way to prevent an unwanted pregnancy is not to get pregnant, but Bobbi is not preaching abstinence. As she notes, sex feels good, and I guess women shouldn’t have to be responsible for what they do in pursuit of pleasure or something.
That would explain Democrats’ pursuit of taxation – it just feels so good to take other people’s stuff and spend it on their priorities that they can’t help themselves.
As for the notarized document, how about a marriage license -another idea the New Wave Dems will not love. That’s how we used to do it, and there were far fewer unwanted pregnancies or births out of wedlock (without a license, to borrow your parlance).
But that’s backward thinking which is not at all progressive.
So, what’s next? Women can’t be guilty of murder? My mistake; we already have that it’s called conception to live-birth abortion, and men – I am told – have no say in that, even if their unregulated DNA caused all the trouble.
