Mind you there are a lot of cases of institutionalized discrimination against men. For instance male victims of rape are punished with child support if the rapist has a baby. Most states say the husband must pay for the wife's infidelity if it results in a baby. Men who are victims of violence get arrested by cops because of primary aggressor laws which say in any abuse situation it's the man's fault.
But this claim that a husband HAS to obtain his wife's consent before getting a vasectomy
is bullshit.
I didn't just go on HuffPo's word. I checked, and checked, and called, and called, and there is no actual law in Missouri that requires this. What happens is physicians ASK the husband to get a note from their wife
which is bad enough, mind you
but it's not a law.
And nowhere, under any circumstances, is it my policy to endorse a revenge law that slaps bullshit restrictions upon women to get back at bullshit restrictions put on men. It's my policy to advocate for the abolishment of laws that infringe upon the legitimate freedoms of men.
That is to say if there was some law requiring men to get permission from their wives for a vasectomy, my response is not to do the childish shit that Rick the Brat did, but rather, to abolish the law requiring the wife's permission for a vasectomy.
BUT THEN THERE'S NO FUCKING LAW REQUIRING A WIFE'S PERMISSION FOR A VASECTOMY
BUT YET REPUBLICANS DON'T CARE THEY'RE JUST DRINKING THIS IDIOT KOOL AID ANYWAY
IT'S OBAMAPHONES ALL OVER AGAIN BUT FOR WOMEN
BULLSHIT ALERTA bill proposed by a Republican state lawmaker in Missouri would require a woman seeking an abortion to obtain notarized consent from the baby's father, even if he is physically abusive toward her.
The bill's sponsor, State Rep. Rick Brattin, told Mother Jones that while the bill has exceptions for rape victims and to protect the life of the mother, women in domestic violence situations are not exempt from having to ask the father's permission. "What does that have to do with the child's life?" Brattin said. "Just because it was an abusive relationship, does that mean the child should die?"
In explaining the bill to Mother Jones, Brattin channeled Todd Akin, the former Republican congressman from Missouri who, during a failed 2012 Senate bid, said that women who are victims of "legitimate rape" have mechanisms in their bodies that prevent them from getting pregnant. Brattin said his bill would require a woman to be able to prove that a "legitimate rape" happened in order to avoid having to ask for a man's consent for the abortion.
"Just like any rape, you have to report it, and you have to prove it," said Brattin. "So you couldn't just go and say, 'Oh yeah, I was raped,' and get an abortion. It has to be a legitimate rape."
Brattin introduced the bill on December 3 for the next legislative session, but it has not moved yet in the Missouri House. He said he was inspired to change the laws around abortion consent because he was required to obtain his wife's consent before having a vasectomy.
