Marlene, Sugar, you are missing the joke hun.Now think what that drug is for. If the man taking it is a Republican, maybe already has a houseful of kids but they are leaving the nest. He has a need for Viagra. Wife or worse, girlfriend gets PG in late 40’s. Ott oh ! You are responsible for kids until they reach 18 yrs old. Kids are not cheap to raise .It can cause heart attacks so don’t think it will be over the counter. There is Generic tho.
Ain’t no joke. Suga’ Honeybun! Men have been doing this for years…nothing new here. Women will resort to having hysterectomies or getting their hands on The Pill, even in the states that want them to be handmaidens. Back door underground abortions will exist and already do. Doctors and nurses risk their reputations and lives providing that service and that’s in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
And it’s not just Democrat women that make the choice.Where I live, before it was Legal, for a price, there was a Dr here that owned a big boat. He would take women out in the ocean past the 10 mile limit( no land laws applied ) and do abortions. Now who do you guess could afford that ? From what I was told the cost was not in proportion to a working man’s wages in the late ‘60’s’. This is not about Pro /Anti- abortion. It’s about Votes ! Those high earners will always be able to buy their way out of trouble.Roe-V-Wade was about and for the rest of us. That’s why it passed to begin with.
Before Roe v Wade— and legal birth control meds— many OB-Gyn docs (including my dad) routinely did D&Cs for their patients who wanted pregnancies terminated. The twisted American system has always been rigged against the have-nots.
My Mom was one of them. Then had the hysterectomy . Single, divorced W/ 3 kids. My humor about this, all of it, seems to me that the Repubs. Vote against their own needs.Then blame Dems because they did ?
Things are not always defined simply. My dad was an excellent physician and teacher… a male chauvinist… a conservative Republican who— along with the AMA at the time— vehemently opposed Nixon’s proposed “socialized medicine.” Later, however, he was disgusted by the takeover of medical practice by insurance companies and knew that it was far worse than the government being involved. He realized his political mistake.
He lived the old “be careful what you wish for” that bites us in the behind over and over when alternative, unintended consequences are not considered.
The evangelicals are now seriously voicing the idea that contraception is the "same" as abortion and are pushing for state laws against contraception as well. (IMHO, my guess is that if contraception is forbidden by state law, can involuntary insemination be far behind?)
Maybe those evangelicals should be wearing chastity belts and the like to "tie things up. Nobody gets pregnant and nobody gets to do the nasty because well, they'd be under lock and key and I am speaking about the men!
No, I bet they’ll let that particular drug become over-the-counter!

Bless your dad, Melinda!!

I love that he actually experienced a discovery. Weren’t all of our dads male chauvinists? At least, mine was too.
Yep. And most OB-Gyn docs were male. Their take on women's reproductive organs was incredibly off the mark in so many cases.
Correct!
