Senate Republicans voted Wednesday to block a bill put forward by Democrats that would guarantee access to contraception nationwide, as Democrats seek to highlight the issue in the run up to November’s elections.
If the government can take away the right to basic reproductive healthcare for half the population, there’s no reason they couldn’t do it for the other half. They likely wouldn’t, because the right wingers obviously believe men deserve more rights than women, but let’s not underestimate the government’s capacity for making terrible policy in furtherance of some fantastical pseudo-purity culture that only exists in their minds.
Oh, I see your edit now. You meant they can’t take it away after they’ve already had one. True that.
It’s not even about having babies. It’s about control in general. Louisiana just passed physical castration as a punishment. Yes it is for one of the worst most disgusting things a person can do to another living being, but it leaves no path for redemption, it is irreversible, it is cruel and unusual, and it is about control. They’ll literally cut your balls off in Louisiana for molesting children.
To be clear: they are penalizing “pedos” while simultaneously allowing (encouraging?) 13-year olds to get married. This is not about pedophilia but about gays.
It’s actually vasectomies which have spiked in popularity — congress can’t take that away once you’ve had one.
I mean…

I think you’re defending the wrong side. if you’re molesting kids, fuck your balls, you’re lucky to be alive at that point.
Republicans are conflating pedophilia with being gay and making baseless accusations of pedophilia aimed at Democrats.
If avoiding cruel and unusual punishment is the price is self-defense, then so be it.
False convictions happen all the time.
