We need women to start fighting back against the overwhelming majority of white males who are in control of our government and are passing laws that restrict a woman's ability to exercise her right to a legal abortion and that impact her health care choices.
Why is this important?
These restrictions include humiliating women via forced ultrasounds or insulting their intelligence through laws that require them to wait 24 hours or make them watch a video before getting the procedure. If a woman wants to comply with her religious beliefs regarding abortion, her choice is simple: Do not get one.
Men have also successfully prevented birth control from being covered by the ACA often citing "we don't use it so why should we have to pay for it" but then restrict choices for unwanted pregnancies. Religion is the red herring behind the real reason for these laws. The real reason: Men feel they must control women. This must stop. The way to stop it starts with you. I am petitioning you to immediately begin introducing bills that:
• Require a man to have to wait 24 hours before getting a vasectomy.
• Force men seeking vasectomies to sit through a video detailing the procedure and showing all the babies he isn't allowing to live because he's restricting his sperm cells.
• Force men seeking vasectomies to have an ultrasound of his testicles and rectum.
• Force men seeking a prescription for Viagra to have an ultrasound of his testicles and rectum every year.
• Demand that vasectomies and Viagra not be covered by insurance under the ACA.
