Ohio's "Heartbeat Bill"

You'll find that, despite what people say about this sub, people here don't want to limit a woman's right to choose. The issue comes when men are not only not extended the same right but when people, including women, actively fight against extending them that right. Given this information, why would you suggest we protect the reproductive rights of the "haves" while being the "have nots"?

I have always been pro-choice, for a number of reasons, and I find the arguments on the pro-life side to be both manipulative and lacking merit.

That being said, feminists have made it adequately clear that they think that men ought to have no say in the reproductive process whatsoever, telling even pro-choice men that they ought to keep their fucking man-mouths shut and keep their stupid man-opinions to themselves because this is a woman's issue (medical ethics being irrelevant, apparently) so whatever a man might think (even his agreement) is simply outrageous and ought to be shut-down. That, and they have dogmatically mismanaged things to the point that their stance is now an anti-majoritarian one. Plus, there is dishonesty on their side as well: I remember one particularly humorous episode where, when a bill banning IDX abortion came before congress in the Bush II years, the head of NOW went on TV to make a passionate appeal on the importance of keeping IDX abortion available but then pretended to not really know what the procedure was.

Anyway feminists have told me they don't want my fucking stupid pro-choice male assistance on this matter, so I'll let them fight their own battles. Tra la la la...

This isn't going to survive an hour into the first federal court it comes across.

I would have removed it, but since there are comments, I'll leave it.

Other mods may differ.

I think that this is relevant to the MRM. If we want to fight for a financial opt-out or other reproductive rights for men, then we need to be on the front-lines fighting to preserve a woman's right to choose. We can make some allies here.

Okay I know this doesnt directly affect men but I have to say this is bullshit. Personally Im pro choice and dont like the idea of banning abortions once a heartbeat is detected. What say you all?
