Discussion for article #235168
I think he has a point. We should make it easier for a man to get a vasectomy. In fact, Young Republicans should actually get government subsidies to go through the procedure. We could have vasectomy-a-thons at GOP rallies!
āMen go through a lot more stringent process to have a vasectomy than a woman does, I would assume, on an abortion,ā
Yes, but then again an abortion doesnāt curtail the womanās fertility for the rest of her life. Unless, of course, sheās forced to go to a hack physician who irrevocabaly damages her reproductive system. I suspect women would go through much the same consultative process for a tubal ligation or even for a far more invasive hysterectomy.

Gardenhire may well be the first elected American politician to publicly raise the issue of the tragic loss of untold potential inches in penile tissue performance from back-alley vasectomies.Some pols will be known for raising āthe reckoningāā; this guyās staking his historical rep on āthe thickeningā.

āWhacking on you down thereā? Iām not a doctor, but I donāt think thatās how vasectomy works.

The doctor is also required, by law, to explain in excruciating detail the pain that each sperm feels when it is murdered with a small-caliber scrotal rifle.

No kidding? I certainly had not noticed any legislation to prevent funding for vasectomy procedures.
What a numb nutz.
EDIT: Heās right. I failed to consider how difficult the operation is when the patient has his head up his ass.

Does the Tennessee legislature do any actual legislative business in the stateās interest?

And yet, if you want a vasectomy, you get oneāin all 50 states and in your immediate neighborhood. So thereās that.

This is apples to oranges. Deciding to never make babies again is not the same as deciding to end a pregnancy. These are two separate decisions.
Having an abortion is not the same as being, āwhacked down thereā as Gardenshire described it. And he says that he got unwhacked which is another thing that is not similar to an abortion.

Not since the right-wing Republican takeover.
Bill after bill assaulting womenās rights, gay rights, stripping local government of the power to regulate where guns can be carried, phony āreligious freedom restorationā acts, proclaiming a state gun, making the Bible the state book, and other aggressively stupid and ideologically driven bullshit.
Nothing is being done to address Tennesseeās many problemsābecause freedom.
Itās increasingly embarrassing to live in Tennessee, because the crackpots who run the legislature seem bent on making the state a national laughingstock.

A guy who got a vasectomy and then decided whoops, he wants to have it reversed is maybe not the person to mandate how long and carefully people should have to think about things.

So i guess this ignoramus doesnāt think women should have the same privilege of discussing medical procedures with their physicians? Hypocrisy, thou art a Republican. Nice try, Skippy, your analogy is fallacious and you are full of crap. Thanks for playing.

āadding that a doctor discusses the vasectomy with the patient before scheduling the procedure.ā
Of course. They discuss all procedures with their patients before scheduling them. Itās nothing but a GOP/Teatrolls myth that abortion, for some odd and unknown reason, somehow escapes all discussion between patient and clinician, and that women merely have to go up to the drive-through window at Planned Parenthood, order an abortion with a side of shame, insert the vacuum nozzle in their hoohoos while still in the car and then press the āgoā button after swiping their debit cards. Itās no different than their idiocy about losing elections because people didnāt āhearā or āunderstandā their message (i.e., not because we heard and understood it and found it abhorrent). Clearly, women have abortions because they know not what they do and, if we could just make them āhearā and āunderstandā what the GOP/Teatrolls are saying, then theyād stop going to the drive-through.

I guess we need to pass laws making it easier for men to get vasectomies. That would have the interesting result of fewer women needing abortions.
Itās win-win, right?

He may be mixing up his doctor with that nice lady out back of the truck stop.
It is, in fact, also quite different proceduresā¦and abortions can happen spontaneously, vasectomies not so much.
Gardenhire had a tragic back alley vasectomyā¦But ClausCPH makes me realize he could have suffered an extremely rare spontaneous vasectomy when he just happened to be in a back alley.
