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.
When I have to see news like this on my computer screen, I just sit here shaking my fist.
This comment wins. Game over.
Bullshit. Contraception begins at impure thoughts!
The last thing Dems should be doing right now is performative bullshit.
That’s the dem playbook though. Gotta keep chugging!
Yep. If I learned anything in the last 15 years, it’s that conservatives do not care about hypocrisy. As long as their team wins, it doesn’t matter to them at all how they won.
What does this serve other than performative at best and worryingly close to mimicking the actual bigoted actions that are taking place right now? Please, I need to see some outreach to communities that are hurting, not ‘gotcha’ moments that do nothing but circle the drain.

You just summed up everything the Dem leadership ever does to #Resist 😮💨
Sometimes you need a “gotcha” moment to make headlines and hopefully reacha few people who are so delusional they think prohibiting abortion is in any way related to saving lives.
They can donthe outreach to, it just doesn’t garner media attention. That’s not to say they’re doing it. They are Democrats, after all. Ineffective and performative are on-brand.

Nah, this is performative nonsense to grab some headlines and say, “See, we’re doing stuff,” that doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of actually passing and changing peoples’ lives. Meanwhile, the Republicans are running roughshod all over the Democrats on things that actually have pretty immediate, overwhelmingly negative impacts on peoples’ lives, like the shitshow that is DOGE, and the Democrats are just angrily wagging their collective finger and going, “Why, Mr. President, if you don’t knock that off, I’m going to really get cross with you. I daresay, I may even use uncouth language in reference to your person, despite the esteemed office you occupy!” They aren’t even making token efforts at trying to derail any of his cabinet picks and get some GOP defectors to help block them.
They’ve tried nothing and thrown up their hands, so now it’s time to draw out the tried and true playbook of looking as incompetent and out of touch at a key moment in history as they can possibly manage to do, short of outright switching party membership and taking up the GOP mantle themselves.
I’m with you on this stuff. Leave this stuff to The Daily Show correspondents. This is as serious as the Red, White, and Blue Land proposal.
If I’m looking for who I’m voting for and saw:
-
Tried but failed to get school breakfast refunded.
-
Tried to troll Republicans with the Ant-Whacking bill.
Number 1 may have also failed to accomplish anything, but they spent their time in office at least attempting to do what they were elected to do.
This stuff feels like lame Ron/Rand Paul crap trying to make worthless votes look like they’re actually principles. If this is the best use of time they can find, we’re in trouble. They need to be out figuring out why they lost to literal criminals, not coming up with ways to “slam” them and doing their version of Steven Miller’s searching out obscure old regulation to impede the burning of our rights and protections.

This is how they are resisting? We are so fucked.
Feels pretty fitting that lawmakers are using their powers to protest. I wish they would be generally more vocal, but maybe I’m just insulated by my surroundings. What kinds of resistance were you hoping to see?
Something that actually makes a difference.
Maybe if people actually gave them power by voting they could do something.
I really don’t understand what Anyone is expecting.
I hope some babies are being produced in that fucking that’s happening to you, otherwise… 🔗🚓
Fucking democrats.
Replace them. Vote left.
There is no left
Lol wut. You mean there’s no plutocrats in the left? Because the people are definitely left. And we have left candidates too.
Meanwhile in the same state, conservative are still on the offensive :
Despite this, anti-abortion advocates like Beigel are trying to reverse it. He is the president of End Abortion Ohio.
He said that in the coming weeks, lawmakers will introduce a new bill to criminalize abortion totally.

This bill actually makes sense lol. If you want to have sex with someone, at least have the decency to use a condom and not put your partner at unnecessary risk just because you are lazy.
I’ve committed this crime 3 times today already. My body my choice.
In before waiting for the rookie numbers comment to drop.
You’ve only committed it 3 times? I’ve committed it probably 5 times if not more.
Your body, my choice. I’m gonna send you pictures of nekked grammas to prevent any more crime being done.
we aren’t far enough from kellogg to propose this without too many people nodding along and agreeing with the premise (or at least that expelling sperm without trying to have kids is bad).
And remember kids, If you have a sexy dream you’re a criminal!
Women should hide themselves to prevent erections
/s
I read a few mangas about this on certain sites…
Actually a good idea! Too bad
RepublicansNazis lack the ability to think critically or independently.
