        My wife would agree. She has… so many womanly issues, but can’t find anyone to yank the damn thing out.

        She wants no children.

        I, her husband, had a vasectomy before we ever met.

        We have no use for the damn thing and it just causes so many problems.

            My doctor is on that list! I don’t wanna openly say who she is because I don’t wanna completely doxx myself, but I can reply to any DMs with her name if anyone wants a Pa recommendation. She’s great. First gynecologist that hasn’t tried to pressure me into wanting kids.

          If you are in Pa or willing to drive there, DM me. I can send you the info of my doctor. She’s really open minded and is one of the few in the state that will sterilize women (taking out the fallopian tubes) just because they want it.

          I have recurring endometriosis and we’ve just decided that a total hysterectomy to handle the issue for good is the best next step.

    Southern Baptists must have the highest rate of homosexuality in the world. It’s all they talk about. They throw it in with absolutely everything. “Do you guys want to order a pizza and end homosexuality?” “What movie did you want to watch while we think about homosexuality?” “We’re going to Aruba this summer and we’re going to think about homosexuality”

      Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.

      The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.

    support policies that promote childbearing.

    …like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?

    The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!

      Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren’t prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.

        Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing.

        A lot of these conservative groups have their heads fully packed with eugenics and social darwinian philosophy. The goal is to just keep popping kids out and come-what-may. Eventually, a large enough population will produce some ubermensch. And then you breed the ubermench to get your prodigies and your messiahs.

        It’s Genetics meets Calvinism. If you succeed, its because you’ve got the Purest Blood. If you fail, it is because you have trash DNA and should be cleansed to make way for the superior people who will follow.

    As a trans man, I would be happy to have a child. My uterus still works, as much as I would suffer going off of testosterone enough to carry, it is something I have always wanted.

    Unfortunately, these people have made it legal for me to be fired for being trans. They have voted for politicians that have done nothing to address the catastrophic state of medical care which renders it prohibitively expensive to realistically ever be able to care for a child.

    I believe that children deserve stable living conditions and a future, which does not seem to be something that they are concerned with at all.
