When Confronted With Legislation About A Vasectomy Bill, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz Says, “YIKES!”

 

Ted Cruz does NOT want the government controlling the reproductive organs of men, but he has no problem with the government controlling the reproductive organs of women, hence his railing against abortion when women get pregnant thanks in part to the reproductive organs of men, but it is a case of “Yikes!” when the government proposes vasectomies for men in an effort to control a man’s role in reproduction.

Ted Cruz takes aim at Alabama vasectomy bill: “YIKES!”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) took aim at legislation recently introduced in Alabama by a state representative that would, if passed, make it mandatory for certain men to get vasectomies – a bill that comes in response to legislation passed last year that seeks to ban abortion in the state.

“Yikes,” Cruz wrote in response to the bill on Twitter on Sunday morning. “A government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everything…literally!”

The bill would require men to get a vasectomy after the birth of their third child or when they reach 50 years of age; whichever comes first. Alabama state Rep. Rolanda Hollis (D), introduced the legislation in response to Alabama legislation that prohibits women from seeking and obtaining abortions even in instances of rape and incest. And of course, Sen. Ted Cruz was all FOR the legislation aimed at restrictions on women’s reproductive control over their own bodies, but when it comes to men, well now, that’s a different story. According to Ted Cruz, the government does not have a right to regulate a man’s reproductive system because, uh….well…because…he’s says so.

So you white women who voted for the likes of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, who can grab you by your pussy at any time, and also to the white women who donned pink pussy hats and marched in what you considered to be, a protest against Donald Trump, whom you elected to the presidency, get your pink pussy hats out again and go march in front of Ted Cruz’s office in protest of his obvious double standards when it comes to the government legislating women’s bodies while not having the authority to legislate men’s bodies. These are the worthless, misogynistic shits that you gave birth to and so hop to it.  But you won’t because these very same assholes uphold the system of ‘white supremacy’ from which you benefit. And you will screech and wail about how you should have the right to do to your body what you will, but that screeching and wailing ceases when it may affect the system of white supremacy. You’ll shut the fuck up then.

Also, I have covered this issue before and I am going to do something that I have never done and that is to include an entire blog post here and not just post a link because, FINALLY, someone got the memo.

WHAT ABOUT PLANNED FATHERHOOD?

 

I am going to be a mother
but I am just too young.
The father of my child
just stung me with his tongue.

He told me it was my fault.
Protection was for me to use.
How can I tell my family?
Their love for me, I’ll lose.

Oh where can I turn?
What help is there for me?
I heard about Planned Parenthood,
but will they help me out for free?

What services do they offer?
Should I seek advice from them?
Will they blame me for this shame?
Am I the guilty or the victim?

Answers, I need now
before it is too late.
The man can walk away
and leave me in this state.

Where’s the judgment on his ass?
What about Planned Fatherhood?
It takes two to make a baby!
That should be clearly understood!

I am getting real tired of this double standard bullshit! It would seem that Planned Parenthood is all about the ‘female’ role in the making of a baby because the female is the one whose life is going to be turned upside down no matter what she decides to do with the baby. If she decides to have the baby and she is either underage or single, she is going to have to figure out what to do and society will look at her as the slut who couldn’t keep her legs closed while the man who had a hand in this, as usual, gets to strut away like a peacock, on to the next.

If she decides to get an abortion, this is frowned upon because “Oh my goodness! I am just so self-righteous and the good book(Bible)that is burning up in my sinful hands due to all MY sins, tells me that I should stone this fallen woman, this slutty, whore who is no better than she should be! My stars! Back in my day, sluts weren’t running loose, opening their legs to every Tom, Dick and Harry that wished to crawl between them. We wore chastity belts until marriage! What is this sinful world coming to?”

Yep, that about covers the ‘christians’ view of an unwed mother-to-be. Nothing whatsoever is said about the ‘father’ who most definitely had a hand in the reason why the female is pregnant. No one is planning to defund ‘Planned Fatherhood’ because in reality, ‘Planned Parenthood’ is all about the ‘female’ in the equation and don’t we ALL know it. Planned PARENTHOOD, my ass! Planned MOTHERHOOD is what it’s ALL about!

Oh, there are probably some pamphlets about the ‘male’s role in conception’ in the offices of Planned Parenthood, sitting somewhere collecting dust on a shelf in the basement, but the primary focus is on care for the female if she decides to carry the child to full-term or with help in aborting the ‘fetus’.

And now, we have many a republican blow-hard threatening government shut-downs over de-funding Planned Parenthood, but would the same hell-raising antics be displayed if this was all over an agency called, ‘Planned Fatherhood’ where the male’s reproductive role is the primary focus? Of course not! Those hypocritical conservative bastards would sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up! But women’s rights and agencies that help women with regards to reproduction is always up for grabs and great for capturing headlines and getting the so-called ‘christian right’ all up-in-arms.

Here is an idea republican blow-hards, if you want to stop getting all hypocritically bent-out-of-shape over Planned Parenthood, fetal parts selling, abortions and whatnot, then announce the launch of an historically new concept; that of Planned Fatherhood, placing the emphasis on male contraceptives, male sterilization and male education on birth control and the consequences of going without it. Let’s see how many men line up and head through the doors to take responsibility for their role in the creation of life. Because in here, men don’t get a goddamn free pass, not a bit of it!

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

Not one man is featured on this site. As usual, contraception or birth control is ALWAYS aimed at the female. Women have come SO far in the year of no lord 2015!

And now that we are all distracted from the REAL issues of child poverty, a school-to-prison pipeline, mass incarceration, a fucked up infrastructure, failed leadership, partisan politics, drone wars, refugee crises caused by U.S., police brutality, Mid East policy fuck-ups, a homeless epidemic, income inequality, low-wage part-time jobs, a shrinking jobs base and a host of other serious issues, we can continue to rail over the funding of Planned Parenthood. Meanwhile, Rome burns.

As you can see, I originally posted this blog in 2015  and here we are, 5 years later, still going around in circles. We are still sitting up listening to and putting up with the double standard bullshit hypocrisy from rich, old white men. They are still dictating to us all just what the hell should happen to our bodies. Regardless of whether or not you believe in a woman’s right to choose, remember this, it does indeed, take two to tango.

Men, get that vasectomy and shut the fuck up! And since Ted Cruz approves of the government  legislating a woman’s rights over her own body, then he should have no problem with the government legislating a man’s rights over his body by mandating vasectomies for men in order to stave off the need for women to seek abortions. If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander.

Clinton Praises Dead Racists Reagans Response To HIV-AIDS!

 

 

The warmonger, Hillary Clinton is a real piece of work!

“Because of both President and Mrs. Reagan in particular Mrs. Reagan we started a national conversation. When before nobody would talk about it(HIV-AIDS), nobody wanted to do anything about it,” Clinton told MSNBC.

Who in hell actually had a single thought in their head that Ronald and Nancy Reagan gave a damn about a disease that was associated with homosexuals and which was also somehow, magically infecting millions of Africans and so-called African-Americans? HIV-AIDS was a man-made disease that was designed to eradicate, wipe-out and genocide those in society who were already deemed, genetically defective or impure and who were sadly lacking in morals as designated by the Christian conservative right-wing moral police.

When called out for her ridiculousness in hailing the Reagans as proponents of any efforts to spearhead a movement to focus the spotlight on the epidemic of HIV-AIDS, warmonger Hillary Clinton then backtracked and offered up an apology stating that:

“While the Reagans were strong advocates for stem cell research and finding a cure for Alzheimer’s research, I misspoke about their record on HIV and AIDS,” Clinton said in a statement tweeted Friday. “For that, I m sorry.”

Of course, she’s sorry. And by just saying, “I’m sorry,” that just absolves her of willfully making false statements while in possession of the facts. That warmonger knew exactly what the Reagans had advocated strongly for and she knew that HIV-AIDS was not on the list. Since Ronald ‘fake ass actor’ Reagan himself was suffering from Alzheimer’s, dementia and/or senility, why would it be a stretch for the Reagans to focus on that disease? It wouldn’t. Anything to help that old racist bastard Reagan with his trickle down voodoo economics which is partly to blame for how badly the abject poor are faring to this very day. But let us laud those two twisted, racist snakes as having done something to bring the plight of millions of people infected with HIV-AIDS to the light regardless of whether they did or didn’t and they surely didn’t. But let us applaud their lack of attention given to that disease because they were ‘The Reagans’ doncha know! I just cannot make this shit up!

HIV/AIDS in Africa is one of the most important global public health issues of our time, and perhaps, in the history of mankind. In Africa, AIDS is one of the top causes of death. While only comprising slightly under 15% of the total population of the world, Africans account for nearly 70% of those who live with HIV and are dying of AIDS.

Southern Africa exhibits pandemic-level HIV infection rates, with extreme levels in the countries of Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, and Zambia. By contrast, some countries in North Africa have HIV prevalence rates lower than most cities in the USA.

Sub-Saharan Africa has the most serious HIV and AIDS epidemic in the world. In 2013, an estimated 24.7 million people were living with HIV, accounting for 71% of the global total. In the same year, there were an estimated 1.5 million new HIV infections and 1.1 million AIDS-related deaths.

Meanwhile, in America, AIDS in Black America has been deemed a public health crisis.

Of the more than 1 million people in the U.S. infected with HIV, nearly half are black men, women and children — even though blacks make up about 13 percent of the population. AIDS is the primary killer of African-Americans ages 19 to 44, and the mortality rate is 10 times higher for black Americans than for whites.

And although Black people make up only 13% of the U.S. population, they account for 44% of new HIV infections. The reasons for this increase has been attributed to poverty, lack of access to health care, higher rates of some sexually transmitted infections and lack of awareness of HIV status. What the statisticians fail to take into consideration is the fact that over a million Black men are incarcerated in America and when they go to prison and come out, they come out with AIDS and they in turn,  infect their girlfriends and wives.

Black men are deliberately incarcerated on bullshit drug charges and this is one of the reasons why. Furthermore, it is a known fact that many of them will be raped in prison and we all know that healthcare of any sort is sadly lacking in America’s prisons. The elite shits behind this genocide know that this is another sure way to kill off the Black populace. Send the men to prison, infect them with HIV and when they’re out, that fatal disease goes with them. They can talk about how Black people are unaware of their HIV status, but what I would like to know is are the prison officials making the prisoners aware of their HIV status before they are released? Also, what can Black people do to alleviate the factor of poverty? If poverty has been designated as a reason why Black people are more likely to become infected with HIV-AIDS, then what is being done to nip that shit in the bud? Not a goddamn thing because HIV-AIDS is doing exactly what it was designed to do. It is killing exactly who it was targeted to kill.

Black men, by the thousands are turning to homosexual behavior and that is not a behavior that was prevalent in our early history. We were not a race of homosexuals. But that is clearly changing. So, not only are Black men infecting other Black men because of their homosexual lifestyle, Black men who were incarcerated and still found themselves desiring a Black female to fulfill their sexual desire, is infecting the Black female upon release from prison. A win-win for the creators of this designer disease. A lose-lose for the children of the infected and for the communities of color in America.

I remember when I was working for an insurance company in the 80s and we came across a potential policyholder that had tested positive for HIV, we were all agog. We were like, “YUK!” In our small, isolated and insular town, we just were not up to speed with this disease and not to mention that it was just being talked about at that point. And soon, we were adding HIV questionnaires to insurance files and of course, those who had the disease were denied life insurance. Fast forward to today and people with HIV-AIDS are still being denied insurance and much more. It was only after Ryan White and his mother publicly fought a battle for him to attend school after having contracted the disease through tainted blood as he was a hemophiliac, did people actually start talking about HIV-AIDS.

The Reagans would not even talk to their friend Rock Hudson after he contracted AIDS and yet, warmonger Hillary Clinton had the audacity to go there about how the Reagans were the face of AIDS Advocacy? The lies just never stop coming and the liars just apologize as if that makes up for that shit. Well, I say, “There has been too many meaningless apologies after liars have been outed for their apologies to mean a damn. They don’t.

And to Black AmeriKKKa, I suggest you understand that we are not just the victims of police brutality, discrimination, income inequality, mass incarceration, the school-to-prison pipeline, homelessness and the list is endless, we are also the continued victims of medical and scientific experiments designed to eradicate us. You have only to recall the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. Think the experiments have ceased? Think again! And remember, Hillary Clinton, she got your back. She will give your back a push, right into your grave as she lauds the racist ass Reagans for ignoring the ongoing medical and scientific experiments designed to eradicate us. Educate yourself on HIV-AIDS and all Sexually Transmitted Diseases and protect yourself by taking care of you! Because no one else gives a damn about us! They’d rather see us dead!

“Oh Dear, Bubba Dear!”

 

As a southerner, I am neither appalled nor am I outraged over what Bubba Dear has done. ‘Homegrown’ terrorists like Bubba Dear are a dime a dozen here in the land of the stupid and the afraid; better known to most of you as AmeriKKKa.

Bubba Dear is giving us Amerikkkans, a bad name and that is a fact. I mean, for goodness sake, we just finished gorging ourselves on dead turkeys and now Bubba Dear comes along and makes a mockery of our ‘thankfulness’ over this Thanksgiving weekend. What a way to finish out this “We are all thankful for your bounty and for your blessings Oh Lord God on high and as we celebrate how thankful we are to be with friends and family, we look forward to the holiness of Christmas and the Christ child’s virgin birth yada yada yada. Damn! I just gagged my own damn self over that pile of horseshit! But thankfully, there’s that word again, ‘thankful’, thankfully we’ve got Bubba Dear to remind us just how thankful we ought be. I mean, here he comes ‘a riding in on his big white steed….uh…I mean, in his pickup truck just a gunning fer those awful sinners down at the Planned Parenthood clinic and snakes alive, Bubba up and kills a pole-eesmun and he don’t even get hisself full of bullet holes; he ain’t shot so many daggone times that he’s a looking like Swiss cheese. And the cops even stopped long enough to give us a word on why Bubba Dear commenced to killing folks at the Planned Parenthood Clinic. He was, according to the cops, upset about fetal parts selling. Even though it weren’t no fetal body part of any of Bubba Dear’s inbred offspring, he was still all het up over it and since he had been reading that magazine called, Southern White Supremacy Terrorism”, well Bubba Dear just got all sorts of crazy ideas and since all of us in the south and evuhwhere else in AmeriKKKa got at least 25 guns, well, it weren’t no problem a’tall fer Bubba Dear to pick amongst his cache and get ta shooting.

We is all surprised like, ’cause this don’t happen in Amerikkka on a regular basis. We is too busy going on and on about dat dar ISIS, which us in the south thought was a goddess, but we is catching up with the rest of the world and even though “The South Will Rise Agin!” we gone see to it that fetal body parts don’t get sold. Bubba Dear was just doing his patriotic duty by protecting ALL Amerikkkans agin the gubmint law that states that wimmins has the rights to kill bābeez! Now, don’t mine Bubba Dear’s lack of an edumacasion and the fact that Bubba Dear considers hisself ta be filled with the supremes ’cause he feels that he is supreme to Black folks. I’m gonna keep this clean and it is real hard ta do so since I just cum from a Klan meeting muself. I dressed in ‘white’ face ’cause I’m doing an article on ‘White Supreme Groups Who’s Who’. I must say that I certainly appreciate Bubba Dear here ‘outing’ hisself in ‘Who’s Who’ so’s I can check him off muh list since he is gonna be incarcerated fer a few days. Just long enough fer his comrade terrorists to ‘Go Fund’ him some bale monies. Don’t mine muh spelling. We ain’t too brite down here. Hell! Y’all see how Bubba Dear was living. He weren’t never one fer food stamps seeing as how dat dar is a gubmint run program and terrorists like Bubba Dear is agin a’seeking help especially since he said that Obama was gone personally brung him his food stamps if’n he applied fer dem. He said, “I ain’t abowt ta haf no nigger cum to my hawse and hand me no goddamn food stamps. I’d just as soon as hunt fer berries and shoot me a possum or two.”

But now that Bubba Dear has committed this heinous crime dat he don’t think is a crime, he’s gonna get fed by the very gubmint he was hell bent on being non-compliant to. Ain’t that something? Now, I gots to tell Bubba Dear’s homeys that he ain’t gonna be home fer supper tuhnight ’cause he’s  a dining in the big hawse. Dey should a told Bubba Dear to hold off of doing dat at least til after the Thanksgiving holeeday.

I want to say in closing that we is all thankful that Bubba Dear was cawt and dat he is where he belongs. However, please to consider that Bubba edumacated hisself and the only book dat he had was ‘See Dick Run’. Now, can you at least sympathize with the fact that his brain potential was nevuh fully realized? Can you come to terms with the fact that Bubba Dear thought that he was supreme? Unfortunately, dare are many mo Bubba Dears out dare and dey is gonna go off on a rampage and keel some folks.  Dey is worse den ISIS! So wave a webel flag for Bubba Dear tuhnight and say it wif me, “The Sawth Weel Rize Agin! Stop the selling of fetul bawdee pawts!” Now, ain’t we all ‘thankful’?

Abortion! Why Make It About Race?

According to statistics, Black women have more abortions than whites and Hispanics and the reasons given are that many Black women are poor and are often uneducated about the use of contraceptives and therefore, make poor decisions.

http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/09/abortions-racial-gap/380251/

We all know how pregnancies happen. Insert dick inside vagina and voila, here comes baby or maybe not. There are two parties that are inserted into the mix to make a baby and to continuously blame women for finding themselves pregnant all by their lonesome is ludicrous and then to further blame Black women for aborting their babies at a higher rate than white women and Hispanics is just icing on the cake. Black women can do nothing right no matter how hard we try and you know what statisticians, I don’t give a fuck what you say about Black women and why we have abortions because it takes two to tango.

But I digress, first things first. Since we all know that sex is too pleasurable to be denied, unplanned pregnancies are going to occur. There are no sure fire birth control methods other than abstinence, which ain’t gonna happen, and sterilization, otherwise known as tubal ligation or vasectomies. And please, feel free to enlighten me if you’ve had a vasectomy and still managed to impregnate someone, the same with tubal ligation. Now, when I was in school, we were not taught sex education and my mother was like Beaver Cleaver’s mother, ‘the stork delivered us’ was her take on how babies came to be. I knew nothing of how babies came to be until I became of age to attend the prom. I was then handed a pamphlet that explained the process in clinical detail and was told by my mother that there was no way in hell that I would be attending the prom, only to return home, pregnant. I was told that intimacy between a male and a female was so excruciatingly painful, that death was to be wished for more.

My sisters and I were the most sexually repressed females ever to walk this planet, add into the mixture, the hellfire and brimstone that would be rained down on us by ‘god’ and we were afraid to wear skirts for fear of sperm finding its way into our secret garden. Geefuckingwhiz here! We all wore chastity belts, believe me!

How shocked I was when one of my friends came to me asking me where the clinic was so that she could get birth control pills. I mean, how would I know? Maybe they got delivered by the stork or were inside the drug store right next to the Anacin that my mother took, religiously. But somehow, my friend found out and asked me to drive her to the clinic. Unfortunately, her information was wrong and when I got back home, my mother was telling me that my friend had asked me to come and pick her up. The clinic that she wanted to go to was on the other side of town. She informed me the next day that she had gotten her birth control pills and that she was ready for ‘S-E-X’. Of course, I was wide-eyed with wonder and since I had been indoctrinated into the “you are a bad, bad girl if you have dirty thoughts” religion, I had to try and save her soul. So I commenced to letting her have it but she was having none of it. She had heard that sex was a beautiful thing and she had a boyfriend that was eager to get on with it.

My mother did not suspect that this friend of mine was not ignorant like I was to the ways of the world and so; she let me go off with her one day. She had lined up a guy for me. He was a friend of her boyfriend and a seemingly nice enough fella until when we were at the park, he pulled out what I soon found to be a joint and they proceeded to smoke it. I was appalled. I just knew that mother could see all of this and I knew ‘god’ was looking. I demanded to be taken home and I was. Unfortunately, the guy had fallen for me, they always do, and my friend invited me over her boyfriend’s house and there he was. This time, the straw that broke the camel’s back was that they insisted on playing a GASP, sex video. As soon as I saw the first naked body, I screeched and stormed out, demanding to be taken home! The guy sent me flowers the next day. And I remember this quite vividly because I was in my room and my baby sister ran into my room shouting that a florist van was parked in front of the house and mother was telling the delivery man that no one had ordered any flowers. He mentioned my name and the flowers were eventually transferred from his hands into my mother’s. When I came downstairs, my mother was all eyes and shrieking about fallen daughters, blah, blah, blah. The card that was addressed to me read, “Shelby, please accept these roses as my apology for hurting your feelings.” Oh, they were beautiful! Twelve long stemmed red roses and of course, my sisters were giggling and having quite the time witnessing the show.

So, what I am trying to say is that back in my day, many of us were so innocent about sex and had no clue. And even though my friend got herself on the pill, not everyone can or will and the only thing that probably saved me from having a ton of babies was the fact that I had been scared shitless at even the thought of S-E-X. Today, even though we are more aware of what goes on between the two sexes at an early age, it still makes no difference because young people are going to experiment and they are going to make mistakes. We all do. Youth is fleeting as we know and to continuously blame people for something that they really cannot control is ridiculous. I realize that having a baby is a big deal. It is another life that has to be taken care of and the care of that life is expensive and when teenagers are having babies, it is especially hard on the entire family because in many Black households, there is no one home to take care of the baby while the teen mother continues with her schooling. And it is so much easier on the male that had a hand in the conception of the child, but will never show the unmistakable signs of carrying a baby, will not be the one who has to nurture the child from infancy to adulthood, unlike the mother. There are many young men, regardless of color that will not step up to the plate and by them not doing so, it is then incumbent upon the female to make a decision as to what to do about an unplanned for pregnancy.

We must stop shaming and blaming particular ethnic groups for what they do or don’t do. We need to be there for our children and support them when they ‘mess up’ and get into situations, whatever they may be and stop making everything about race when it is all about human nature. We are all fallible and not one of us can lay claim to never having made a mistake in our entire life. This nonsense of what one race does to their detriment over another race is counterproductive and useless in the grand scheme of things. No, people are not as naïve as I once was as well as many others, well, maybe not that many, but be that as it may, abortions for whatever reason are I am sure, hard enough as it is to deal with without making it a Black or a white or a Hispanic issue and point the finger and say, “see, those people are always having abortions because of this, this and that. When will they ever learn?” The question is when will we ALL ever learn about humanity and stop the goddamn judging?

Taking A Common Sense And Educated Approach To Birth Control

There was a discussion on another blog about a controversial birth control method, the Essure system.

“The Essure system is a type of permanent birth control for women. The Essure system includes two small metal and fiber coils that are placed in the fallopian tubes. They’re inserted through the vagina, so no incision is required.

After insertion, scar tissue forms around the coils, blocking off the fallopian tubes and preventing sperm from reaching the egg. It takes time for this to happen. So you must use another form of birth control for the first three months. You’ll then have an X-ray (hysterosalpingography) to confirm that your fallopian tubes are blocked.
The Essure system doesn’t offer protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and isn’t reversible.”

Seriously? I am going to be fool enough to let someone insert a METAL coil into my vagina, place it inside my fallopian tubes, wait around for three months for scar tissue to form, meanwhile using yet ANOTHER form of birth control. Then go and get x-rayed to check to make sure that the fallopian tubes are indeed blocked and all the time, I am not going to expect ANY complications at all. Not at all. Are they fucking kidding me? Only women would go for this because let me put it this way how many guys do you think would put up with this?

Guys! How many of you would lie back and have a doctor pry open the tip of your penis, insert a METAL coil up in there, tell you to wait three months before having sex because it’s more than likely going to hurt like hell while the coil is causing scar tissue to form to prevent sperm from finding its way out of your penis? You wouldn’t need another form of birth control while you wait because you would be in no position to perform a sex act using your penis. And don’t even get me started on what sex acts you can perform without the use of your penis as we don’t even want to go there.

The point that I am trying to make here is the fact that birth control in the form of torture is always touted out for the female while the male gets off. No one has yet had a thought to put an implant in the arm of a man as a contraceptive. No one has developed a pill as a contraceptive for a man. No one has invented a diaphragm or a sponge to fit a male’s penis to aid in contraception. Men are told to either use a condom or get a vasectomy and many refuse to even go the route of the vasectomy. They don’t want anybody snipping anywhere near that precious appendage. And yet women will lie down and have every complicated, dangerous and outlandish procedure performed and then get up and wonder why they’re finding themselves fucked up somewhere down the road. Women, stop being a goddamn guinea pig for every device that comes down the pike because once you stop being a willing participant of tortuous devices for birth control, then maybe they’ll figure it out and stop concentrating on birth control aimed solely at women and actually come up with more birth control options for men. We have got to stand up for ourselves and that means not falling for all the shots, implants, inserts, pills and sponges that are constantly being shoved at us because contraception is considered to be our problem and our problem alone, and “put yourself on this here table and get a ‘metal coil’ inserted already!” Hell nah! There is no way in hell that I would allow myself to be tortured over some goddamn birth control and to say that you had no other option is beyond ridiculous. You have options and you have choices as it takes two to tango and make a baby.

Start demanding that birth control is not just a woman’s issue but a couple’s issue and tell those motherfuckers who think that it’s all about the woman taking responsibility for contraception to “Fuck off!” Educate yourselves and assume some responsibility for what happens to your body. Unless you have been declared a, vulnerable adult, then you should have the brain cells connected that will tell you, “Fuck no, this shit ain’t right and I’m getting the hell up off this goddamn table before you motherfuckers wreck my goddamn life. Bring a goddamn man all up in here, put his ass on the table and see how far you get with trying to insert a metal coil in his private parts, why doncha?!!” A man ain’t going for that shit and neither should you. So, don’t bother coming here talking about how you didn’t know that metal inside the body is not a good thing. I do understand that people have hip replacements and metal parts have been used. Well, ask many of them how well that’s working out for them? Not bloody well, is my understanding.

Read this and weep!

Several joint manufacturers recalled their metal hip implants, but the recalls came too late for tens of thousands of people who had already received these problematic devices. Many of these patients filed lawsuits.
Hip replacement devices have increased in popularity over the past two decades. This is because new innovations, especially metal-on-metal designs, have promised increased mobility. But in 2010, Depuy Orthopaedics’ hip replacement recall brought attention to potentially serious injuries from these devices. The company reportedly spent $800 million on the recall.

Unfortunately, thousands of people had already experienced injury before the company acted. Perhaps even more troubling is that recalls like Depuy’s do not necessarily compensate injured people adequately for their pain, suffering and medical treatment.

Device Recalls Are Usually Too Late

So, do you still think that having metal inserted into the body is a great thing? And if metal hip replacements have been recalled for being ‘problematic’ to put it mildly. Just what do you think could happen to an area as delicate as a woman’s reproductive system? Yeah, now you’ve got a fucking clue!

Here’s yet another clue while you’re waiting around for three months for the scar tissue to form from the coil inserted in your fallopian tubes> These are other forms of birth control for you to consider.

Birth Control Implant (Implanon and Nexplanon)A matchstick-sized rod that is inserted in the arm to prevent pregnancy

Birth Control Patch (Ortho Evra)A small patch that sticks to your skin to prevent pregnancy

Birth Control Pills-Take a pill each day to prevent pregnancy

Birth Control Shot (Depo-Provera)A shot in the arm that prevents pregnancy

Birth Control Sponge (Today Sponge)A foam sponge inserted into the vagina to prevent pregnancy

Birth Control Vaginal Ring (NuvaRing)A small ring you put in your vagina once a month for three weeks to prevent pregnancy

Cervical Cap (FemCap)A silicone cup or diaphragm inserted into the vagina to prevent pregnancy

Female Condom-A pouch inserted into the vagina to prevent pregnancy Reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infection Can be used for vaginal and anal intercourse

Fertility Awareness-Based Methods at a Glance Charting your fertility to help prevent pregnancy

The IUD at a Glance Small, “T-shaped” device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy

Morning-After Pill (Emergency Contraception) at a Glance
Birth control you can use to prevent pregnancy up to five days (120 hours) after unprotected sex
Two kinds of emergency contraception — morning-after pill and ParaGard IUD insertion

Outercourse – Sex play that keeps sperm out of the vagina to prevent pregnancy (What the fuck?!)

Spermicide – A substance that prevents pregnancy by stopping sperm from moving

Tubular Ligation – Cutting and tying of the fallopian tubes

Vasectomy is a form of birth control for men that is meant to be permanent. During vasectomy, a health care provider closes or blocks the tubes that carry sperm. When the tubes are closed, sperm cannot leave a man’s body and cause pregnancy.

Withdrawal is also called coitus interruptus or the “pull out method” Something you can do during vaginal intercourse to prevent pregnancy

Quiz time! How many methods of birth control are aimed at men? All are considered safe and effective and most have been considered anything but. You do the math. And again, ladies, how many men do you know of who would go through this much trouble to prevent conception? Either you pop a pill each day, get an insert of some sort, get an implant, get a shot, become ‘fertility aware’, put on a patch, take a ‘morning after’ pill, consider ‘outercourse’ which is probably some ‘outer limits’ type shit, apply spermicide, get your tubes tied or get a coil inserted and the ‘no option’ at all is to practice abstinence. Now, do you see the extent of which contraception is aimed at women? A man has two options, put a condom on that thing or get a vasectomy. You, on the other hand have a wide range of options, most of which come with severe risks to your health. Stop the madness! Abstain from continuously buying into the bullshit that contraception is all about you, ladies! Because goddamn it! It takes two to fucking tango! And since we’ve got a ‘morning after’ pill. Show the motherfuckers the night before sex, a chart showing how much a child is going to cost them in glaring detail from the moment of conception to graduating college and if it’s a girl, how much the cost projections for the wedding is going to be in 20 some odd years. Show him the coil that you want him to attempt to insert into the head of his penis. Show him the needle that will be used to give him a birth control shot. Show him the birth control implant ‘rod’ that is going to be inserted into his arm. See how fast his ass is out the door then. Now that’s birth control like you mean it! And if that doesn’t work, put the goddamn chastity belt on HIM!

Consider yourself educated and tell your doctors to take the Essure coil and stick it up their ass! They can then tell you how well a metal coil and some scar tissue feel all up their ass!
