Dunno if I’m ‘young’ but I did get snipped 3 years ago. No kids for me.
I got it done at 22 years old, no ragrets and no oopsies so far
As a woman, I am extremely jelous. I just get “wHaT iF YoU WaNt ChIlDREn?”

As a male who just got snipped after 1 kid and still with her mother. My friends were asking me about if I found myself single and ended up with someone younger who wanted kids. I was actually shocked that was why they didn’t want to do it. We’re all in our 40s and have kids. Personally I have a hard time relating with women who are much younger and would be unlikely to get involved with someone who did want more kids. More importantly, I plan for a future with my partner, not some scenario where I end up single.
I would look into this if I thought for a moment that someone might consider having sex with me ever again.
I’ll have sex with you.
Well, now I have to make a doctor’s appointment.
I feel like people treat fertility way too seriously. So many doctors will refuse to sterilize people because “what if they want kids in the future”. Well then they can get a sperm donor or adopt. It’s not the end of the world.
In Germany it seems access to sterilization is more difficult if you’re light skinned, go figure…
You’re just doing exactly what conservatives want. Now they will have 20 kids and you will have zero, and the future generation will be further fucked.
I don’t want to create a little person into this flaming hellhole just in time for them to watch everything go extinct from the frontlines of the resource wars. Fascists and their descendants can have it, I guess, fuck this shit.

I wouldn’t subject a child to being the 1 in 20 that was against fascism. I would rather they be the last ones left and burn themselves out.
I think about this a lot, and the first scene of Idiocracy.
Yeah but the future generation will be all conservatives, by your logic. So fuck it, I’ll be dead and happy!
They just want more plebe workers, this is almost certainly not what they want
Nobody owes children to society. I don’t have children because I despise infants and I don’t want the complication, period.
I’m not young, though, but I’ve never missed having children.
If you think growing up in a conservative household guarantees a kid becomes conservative, you didn’t grow up in a conservative household.

No, I’m doing what I want which is not to have kids. Regardless of what conservative fuckheads want or think.
Then this doesn’t apply to you why are you commenting
Won’t be long before the christian shithead republiclowns outlaw that too.

wow, that is absolutely awful.
That you have such Fear of your Government i mean.
It’s not the government, it’s the republiclowns. They’re in power because of the idiots that keep voting for them because fox “news” tells them to. Nobody besides the rich as shit should be voting red. (the rich as shit are assholes and they at least benefit from the tax breaks) They’re just laughing at you while they piss all over you.
That’s probably the thing conservatives are going to go after when they’re done banning birth control medication.
this is actually a really based statistic now that i think about it.
Just sterilize yourself forcibly if you are ok with it. It’s a protest. What are they going to do, force us to have babies?
Also you can have your sperm or eggs frozen in case you do want to have kids in the future. Take control of your reproduction and fuck these conservatives.
Generally, female sterilization means cutting or removing the fallopian tubes. The eggs and womb (uterus) are still present and functioning, but the pathway for the eggs to travel is no longer available. In other words, eggs wouldn’t need to be frozen in case a future pregnancy was wanted. However the eggs would need to be removed and mixed with semen, like in vitro fertilization, for a pregnancy to actually occur.
“i froze my eggs/sperm and am now sterilized permanently. Eat shit losers.”
True, but it’s enough $$$ to be out of range for many (for eggs anyways)
What are they going to do, force us to have babies?
According to the Handmaid’s Tale (which seems to be their user manual) they will either kill us or send us to forced labor camps as we are useless to the holy demography.
fine be me. Not like i’m going to of much help doing anything else LMAO.
People are simply not going to be forced to have kids. Repuglicans are completely blind to that fact
Well, except for the quiver-full crowd and all the women indoctrinated into the barefoot and pregnant school of thought.
In other words, the poor, stupid, and indoctrinated will continue to spew out kids while the educated and reasoned will make the choice not to, therefore the stupid will inherit the earth.
The meek shall inherit. The stupid is anything but meek these days
That is literally the logical falicy that Idiocracy makes fun of and nature vs. nurture is still an ongoing discussion.
I don’t see how that depends on it being nature or nurture. Nature: they will be like their parents because of genetics. Nurture: they will be like their parents because that’s who’s raising them.
This is a good article about how one woman figured out how to do abortions herself. https://story.californiasunday.com/abortion-providers/
This is what will happen.
Didnt read all of it but what i did read was quite interesting. Just as interesting was the lack of popups and banner ads on the page.
That is a very good magazine and I read it a lot. High quality.
Read past tense though as it seemed to be cancelled.
I’ve said this elsewhere, but if you are in the states and have health insurance sterilization is covered! For those with lady bits too! This changed with ACA and as soon as it was in effect I started searching for doctors. Easier said than done unless you are old or already have children. But it is possible now, unless you are in some state that used their right to take that right away.
Have to be at least 21 for Medicaid, FYI.
Unfortunately, I think the people who should be sterilizing themselves are not the ones doing it. (not talking about eugenics)
Can we just take a second to appreciate how fucking sick of a sign “MY UTERUS > YOUR GOD” is?
Do you accept Your Uterus as your Lord and Savior?

Best. Sign. Ever.
I’ll remember that. Thank you.
I’m gonna be making these in bulk and pinning them up everywhere, holy shit
I quite like this sign from the Women’s March a few years ago-
how does that look in %? more might just mean slightly more?
From the article:
They found that there were roughly 58 more tubal ligations per 100,000 outpatient visits after Dobbs and 27 more vasectomies per 100,000 visits.
How long until we see cishet women with “no unsnipped guys” in their Tinder bios?
As someone who was single and looking on dating apps a year ago I wish they did. Would have made my job easier since I don’t want kids and not everyone puts that on there. I was extremely upfront about being a loser gamer (I play league) that doesn’t want kids. You’d be surprised about the amount of people who still contacted me based on looks alone and didn’t bother to read the bio.
I was extremely upfront cause I know who I am and what I want and I’m not hiding it. Take me or leave me. Turns out It worked and I found my fiancee that way.
Same here. I’m dude who was very upfront in his bio about being an asexual nerd and I still got booty called by plenty of women who seemed surprised when I told them I was ace. And it’s not even like I’m hot. That’s not just low self esteem talking, I’m so generic looking people literally struggle to describe me and I think it’s hilarious. I’m pretty sure a lot of people (men and women) are just lonely and playing the numbers game hoping something works at this point.
If you don’t know about it, I recommend you take a gander at The rat utopia from the 60s.
Not sketchy at all /$
I knew of a girl when I was in high school. She was a senior and I was a sophomore. Word began rushing through the school that she (head cheerleader) was pregnant by the quarterback on the football team. He came from a super wealthy family, and honestly we all expected an immediate marriage and a ‘premature’ baby.
What happened instead was an announcement that she had died during emergency surgery and let’s all pray. She had had a (what we called) backstreet abortion and hemorrhaged.
We all knew how to access an illegal abortion, we knew the risks, and this girl just was the unlucky one.
She was super smart, in the Latin club, debate, 4.0, just destined for success. And instead she died.
This was in 1969, and I cannot believe we as a nation are willing to go back over 2 decades in women’s healthcare.
Y’allQaeda is at it again. Yeehaa!
She had had a (what we called) backstreet abortion and hemorrhaged.
Banning abortions doesn’t stop abortion, it only stops safe abortions.
You can blame the Moral Majority. So many of them would look at your story and go “well that’s what she deserved for having premarital sex”.
You know 1969 was 55 years ago? While that is technically “over 2 decades” that’s an interesting way to describe 55 years lol
Haha!! I was trying to type 55!!
Technically correct is the best kind of correct
The 1% can make their own wage slaves.
Won’t this potentially contribute to an increasing population of people supportive of, or otherwise apathetic about, abortion restrictions, supposing those taking this course are largely against abortion restrictions?
No. This will lead to population collapse. It does not matter what policies/laws you have if you literally run out of people that can sustain the society with their… wait for it… work!
Support for abortion is not a genetic trait, and seeing firsthand the effects of criminalizing abortion is a quick road to being militantly supportive of it.
Sorry, I should have been clearer, as I wasn’t aiming to suggest it was a genetic trait. As another commenter indicated below, as well as another in this thread, I was asking in relation to the upbringing perspective.
Although I’m well aware upbringing isn’t brainwashing, and so even those anti-abortion parents couldn’t prevent their children from being for bodily autonomy, but I thought it worth asking about to see what others might think. If you read through some conservative leaning texts, some of them unambiguously talk about having children for the express purpose of perpetuating their beliefs, so at least some will view this trend as in their favor.
Also to be completely clear here: I’m pro-choice, and for bodily autonomy.
Yeah, coming from a deeply conservative community in the rural south I’m very familiar with the way parents there believe their children exist to be extensions of themselves.
Anyone under 60 who is anti-abortion only knows what it’s like to live in a post-Roe society, their stance is essentially theoretical and untested until now. When their friends and relatives start getting sick and dying from back alley abortions, miscarriages left untreated, or ectopic pregnancies there are going to be a lot of people singing a different tune.
Support for abortion isn’t a genetic trait, but religious parents tend to raise religious kids due to environmental factors.
I don’t think it with be a big enough difference to matter given how much more liberal people get over time, but it is possible this will happen a bit.
