Texas Abortion Law

WestAppointment2484 · 2021-09-03T19:18:26+00:00

People are so disgusting towards men it’s atrocious. Apparently when a woman gets pregnant and the pregnancy causes damage to her body, it’s somehow all the mans fault. Someone literally said in a PROCHOICE post yesterday that men should still pay child support for children that are adopted, because the woman still had to go through the pregnancy. Like what??? I’m sorry am I missing something here, or do they just hate men that much?

McFeely_Smackup · 2021-09-03T18:59:52+00:00

I really want to stand up in support of women's rights and oppose this Texas law...but I've been told my entire life I'm not allowed to have an opinion about abortion because I'm a man.

I can only be told to fuck off so many times before I listen. So now I just accept the legislation that women voted for.

Just get the vasectomy. It’s way easier.

Because it is misogynistic to tell women that actions have consequences and that they should be responsible because of that

NoticeThingsBAD · 2021-09-03T19:01:39+00:00

Personal accountability and consequences are tools of the patriarchy!

2021-09-03T18:27:00+00:00

…because society doesn’t care much about men. Men aren’t a protected class.

adoctorswife · 2021-09-03T19:27:33+00:00

If women are able to abort, men should be able too as well.

Drippinice · 2021-09-03T19:43:32+00:00

The threads being made on it are horrifying to read. You can see society’s disdain for men in every comment. I’m sorry but I simply don’t care if women lose a tiny bit of their reproductive rights while men have none. Make it equal and maybe I’ll care

Marty-the-monkey · 2021-09-03T20:10:02+00:00

I’m not sure where you are form, but there are entire purity movements dedicated to telling women that exact message. It’s a very common thing to tell girls as well as boys.

MrSalvos · 2021-09-03T19:08:20+00:00

Well if you don't want a person to get pregnant it's best to go that way, same goes for women and i have heard people say that to women. It can still happen but it drastically decreases the probability.

dangoth · 2021-09-03T21:59:48+00:00

They aren't told that? What makes you think that? Of course they're told to be modest and not be slutty or else they'll be undesirable.

OA12T2 · 2021-09-03T22:03:07+00:00

Good rule of thumb: never leave contraception up to the woman

make_my_moon · 2021-09-03T22:09:44+00:00

What world do you live in? Women get tons of grief for acting promiscuous.

pm_me_your_buttbulge · 2021-09-03T22:27:20+00:00

I've always wondered why when women say "my body my choice" men don't respond with "my wallet my choice".

If women won't sole decision then they should also have sole responsibility.

Saying they want sole decision making but shared responsibility is sexism at its finest. If the roles were reversed, feminism would lose its shit.

InformalCriticism · 2021-09-03T21:25:57+00:00

It's as bad as you think. Men aren't thought to have the same right to bodily autonomy (a right to your own labor/money earned) when it comes to becoming a parent, but if you're a woman "biology" gives you that right.

The sad fact is that these sorts of issues were already decided by giving people rights against things like slavery and indentured service, but the supreme court failed to understand what they were doing in Roe v. Wade.

The consequences of this being women now have the right to kill your unborn child (even if you wanted it), or force you into indentured service with the full support of the state (if you didn't want to be a parent/weren't ready).

The supreme court fucked us, and basically the only chance men have of anything that even remotely looks like equality is reducing abortion to it's most useless status.

I personally don't give a shit about abortion, but if a woman gets to choose if she's ready to be a parent, so should a man - it's as simple as that, equal rights means equal protections under the law, and as it stands there are still a lot of slaves in this country having their rights ignored by society as a whole for simply choosing/trusting the wrong woman.

CoffeeCollaboration · 2021-09-03T21:22:19+00:00

Because abortion is tied to women's victimization. Liberals will always find a way to victimize women and change laws according to that. That's why they use the r*** excuse for justifying abortion even though less than 1% of abortions involved pregnancies that were caused by r***.

Basketballjuice · 2021-09-03T20:38:43+00:00

women are told that, just by a tiny minority of people.

Men are told that by the vast majority of people

It's a fucking awful state of mind. Women aren't cognitively impaired - they should be held accountable for their own actions just like men are.

That being said, I disagree with the new Texas law. I think that a 12 year old rape victim should be able to get an abortion.

cleo345800 · 2021-09-03T21:07:53+00:00

Women are told not to have sex. All the time. “Keep your legs closed” “don’t be a slut” “don’t be the type of girl who gives it all away” - are you dense? It is the responsibility of both parties to have protected sex if they don’t want a baby. But don’t act like men are the ones being shamed for sex and women aren’t. That is an absurd take.

reddituniqueuser19 · 2021-09-03T21:08:35+00:00

Probably more so in the West. I would beg to differ the opposite in other countries or even that both are told/shamed for that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think it can vary geographically, culturally/traditionally, religiously, you know? But yes, I live in the States and I get what you’re saying. I do think, however, that both can be held accountable here. Just my experience. Regardless, the correct view is that it’s the responsibility of both I think and both are accountable.

GoneWithTheZen · 2021-09-03T22:43:16+00:00

Rape and incest make up less than 1% of pregnancies combined.

throwawaybear61 · 2021-09-03T21:43:01+00:00

Feminism preaches open hatred and abuse of men. We rightfully and proudly fight racism in our world as much as we can. Feminism needs to be fought the same only harder, for feminism preaches hate against half the planet. Garbage like these attacks on men using innocent babies needs to be called out.

EnvironmentalWar4627 · 2021-09-03T18:29:41+00:00

I think single mothers face a lot of judgement and criticism. Especially when they are young.

I'm not sure if men or women face more judgement for accidental children but I certainly don't think it's accepted among women.

Edit: people are downvoting me because it looks like I'm defending women but I honestly believe both genders face criticism for unplanned pregnancies.

Edit: on this post alone, people are saying women are in that position from 'riding the cock train' and calling single moms sluts. Let's not pretend they don't have judgement.

RunChariotRun · 2021-09-03T20:12:29+00:00

Are you kidding? So many women are told that pregnancies and the consequences of it are their fault because they should just “keep your legs closed” - as if men don’t know any better and can’t be expected to also take responsibility. That kind of narrative is harmful for both men and women.

I’m assuming that this subreddit is extremely sensitive to the things that “society” often tells men, but please understand that you might not also be familiar with the things “society” tells women if you are not a woman being told those things or feeling the consequences of those things.

RandomEqualist · 2021-09-03T18:35:49+00:00

honestly i found the texas abortion laws a violation of human rights, one right is a rights to seek heath care. plus i think its crazy your fined more for seeking an abortion then if you attacked someone. abortions are heath care so id say they then have to fall under the protection of rights. i dont think its fair to make her carry something that might not even make it full term, or could negatively affect her physically or mentally, it just doesn't seem fair to me. reporductive rights are needed for both sexs in order to protect people

spider-mantor · 2021-09-03T21:47:43+00:00

I'm going against the grain here but im kind of starting to lose faith in this sub.Most of this sub complains about women turning mens issues into their own then turn around and do the exact same thing. This is a womens issue and its getting turned into a mens issue.

Lice138 · 2021-09-03T22:49:38+00:00

If it’s 100% a woman’s decision then there isn’t such thing as a “dead beat dad”. It’s his choice

maudeib · 2021-09-03T23:02:10+00:00

The fact that one person, and ONLY one gets to decide if the baby lives or is murdered, is rather sickening. Hell! Even death penalties must have 12 unanimous jurists! As for the "my body my choice". Great do whatever you want with your body, but that baby is NOT part of your body. He is INSIDE your body, otherwise you would have 2 hearts, 4 arms & legs, 4 lungs, either 2 vaginas or a vagina AND a penis. Aaaaaand 2 separate and distinctive sets of DNA!

MagnaCumLoudly · 2021-09-04T00:12:23+00:00

I brought this up in this sub no less the other day and I got downvoted. We’ve internalized the double standard so deeply even this community doesn’t see it.

Josh-P · 2021-09-04T08:27:06+00:00

Never been told that, just been told to not be an idiot and use contraception

blahblah_95 · 2021-09-03T22:18:28+00:00

Please, no. This is not the time for this question. This is not the time to make this point.

codzombiedan14 · 2021-09-03T19:13:22+00:00

Look I’m a libertarian and I dislike when the government tries to excessively control what we can and cannot do with our bodies. I am pro freedom and this is clearly not freedom. This is one of the few grievances that I have with the GOP and actually side with democrats on this issue. However, these feminists and these delusional radical leftists are partly to blame for this. Maybe if they would’ve toned down their bigoted tyrannical agenda this wouldn’t have happened. The blatantly obvious hypocrisies don’t make anyone fond of them. Unfortunately fire had to be fought with fire.

hardturkeycider · 2021-09-03T21:34:04+00:00

I mean, women do face some danger having children, as well as being vulnerable for 9 months. I'd say they have more of a say in aborting or not, but a father should have the legal right to disown a child before it's unabortable

Lt-Lavan · 2021-09-03T21:52:28+00:00

Oh shit that's actually an excellent point well thought

Bensonian170 · 2021-09-03T22:05:59+00:00

It’s the same reasoning when you hear them say things like all men should get a vasectomy till they prove they are financially and emotionally stable to have a kid.

It’s just psycho, crazy, not taking responsibility, immature, aggressive, just the worst ever behavior and thoughts - and then I remember, I’m dealing with a woman.

They’re crazy - yeah I should totally have a medical procedure done - that’s totally the same as using birth control methods…..

Okay - maybe try a new argument ladies. That ones not working for me.

Hankflax · 2021-09-03T22:54:45+00:00

Damn guess this post was what finally made this sub show how misogynistic it is… sad to leave but fairwell
