Kicking up my salsa-class legs, a great thought struck, melting a previous upset to a wide grin.
Roe vs. Wade.
When I hear in 2007 that we're still discussing a woman's right to choose, I get angry. (Those Republicans keep having their field day, talking ad naseum about controlling women)
A woman is in charge of her own body. Women's lib.
Wait.
So I'm kicking up my legs, moving to the grooving, and instead of anger about where RESPONSIBILITY for life lies--in the courts, the boardrooms, on CNN, in a woman's head or--I thought should the moral majority have its controlling way, then, fair is fair.
Equal rights. ERA passed.
Let's legislate men's sperm.
A man who father's even one child that he does not pay to support every month until age eighteen--the family courts overflow with cases of delinquent jerks who take no responsibility--let's make the courts dictate the jerks' vasectomies.
Court-sanctioned reproductive rights for all.
Can those boys spell--v-a-s-e-c-t-o-m-y
We can create a new bill to be introduced to Congress.
Let's write our legislators.
Abortion rights is only one part of the unwanted, uncared for children debate.
Regulate reproductive rights. While, I don't agree with this, if the conservatives have their way overturning Roe vs. Wade and a woman's right to choose, then by all means... let's start at the very beginning:
Let's start with the seed, for that's the beginning of life. Any child knows that you must plant a seed in the ground to sprout a flower... the seed is life.
And
The almighty sperm can be put to sleep.
For men who can't deal well with the consequences of their actions--taking care of their offspring -- off with their ability to procreate.
This is no more traumatic than legislating a woman's body and life.
Now that makes sense.
How's that for new legislation?
