Generally unsurprising, what with two (count \u2018em \u2013 two<\/em>) alleged sexual predators with lifetime appointments sitting on the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can\u2019t say one is even mildly surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What with the staggering hypocrisy of the so-called conservatives (here\u2019s looking at you<\/em>, Mitchy!) and the strident befuddlement of the woke left \u2026 no real surprise at the mental state of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good thing, tho\u2019 \u2026 people can stop venerating the Supremes \u2026 nothing but another group of partisan political hacks with too much power and not enough thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe high time to put a bridle on that wild horse \u2026 but methinks it has already left the barn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Somewhere along these parts may have mentioned a fondness (shall we say, affinity?) for the MGTOW movement \u2026 good idea, long past due. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With the Supremes gutting precedent they find icky, perhaps the females need something similar, because the fundamental uncomfortable truth is, whilst Jho might sang<\/em> (is that what they called it?) Love Don\u2019t Cost A Thing, the consequences of that love (ergo, kids) actually does.\u00a0 A lot<\/em>.\u00a0 Middle-class?\u00a0 Almost half a mil from birth to 18, and that\u2019s not including tuition (private school, prep courses, college ad nauseum<\/em>) \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just about impossible to get\/stay out of debt with the cost of raising a child so high \u2026 and I hazen\u2019t seen any offers of fully-subsidized child care, five years of gov\u2019t-paid parental leave, or maxed-out funding for public schools \u2026 not exactly sure what a poor pregnant chick is to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Methinks that since pregnancy does not require consent, participation, or even consciousness, the only way fertile women can ensure bodily autonomy is via sterilization \u2026. A more radical, modern-day Lysistrata \u2026 cut the tubes, burn the ends, go live that best life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Women Against Reproduction \u2026. This means WAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recent reddit post?\u00a0 The very folks this stupid, stupid decision seeks to force into birth are those same lovely ladies seriously considering canceling the possibility.\u00a0 Educated white women. Oh what<\/em> to do<\/em>! There\u2019s a doctor in Florida offering sterilization to anyone of legal age who wants it, and will help those seeking the procedure find a provider in other states. \u00a0Just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (JAAA \u2014 Elon, Bill, Jeff and Mark should pool their substantial pennies and offer to pay the cost for any person (male, female, other) who seeks voluntarily sterilization \u2026 ACA requires private insurance to cover tubals, most insurance will cover at least some of the cost of a vaseck \u2026 just mindsnacks for the disgruntled masses \u2026 in this political climate, might be a winning platform.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Freakonomics (great read, BTW) provided a stat that crime rates in the 90\u2019s dropped precipitously \u2026 likely due to women aborting pregnancies of children unwanted\/unplanned beginning in \u201973 \u2026 what\u2019s that old trope about the law of unintended consequences?\u00a0 Methinks those anti-choice legislators will find reactionary moral certitude has a high tax bill, and an even higher social cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And for those standing on the Bible to protest abortion?\u00a0 {Exodus 21:22<\/em>; Eccl. 11:5<\/em>}\u00a0 Divorce is a no-no as well but since men have hardened their hearts, Moses provided an out.\u00a0 {Matthew 19:8<\/em>}\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n No man should be sexy-timing any woman not his wife \u2013 solves the whole fornication quandary raht thar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n What a horrible time to be a fertile woman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whelp, looks like the Trumpiots finally got (in?) their way.
