I thought that I would throw my own ideas into the ring after reading quite a few silly diaries on the subject. After being completely frustrated by the continual erosion of my rights, I have decided that we are approaching this all the wrong way. What we need is a bold idea, a step in the a different direction. Follow me below.
My idea is as follows:
The Idea:
Put spermicide in the water.
Consider it fluoride for the balls. Every single boy/man will have his swimmers rendered inactive.
We will put the solution in every single drinkable product sold in the US.
How do women get pregnant?:
When a person decides to start a family, they will bring a chosen sperm donor to the doctor.
The doctor will distribute a temporary vaccine for the male of the person's choosing to take.
Legal work:
A document will be signed that does one of the following:
- For a woman/man couple, they each give their consent to procreate together.
- For a woman/woman couple, they can either use a anonymous sperm donor or a gentleman who is willing to give consent.
- For a male/male couple, they can both give consent to use either of their sperm. The donor will have to sign a document that explicit states that he is now a carrier of "live sperm" and he must inform any woman who he plans to sleep with. Failure to notify will results in heavy fines and possible jail time.
Restrictions:
The vaccine will be free and distribute by a doctor.
Both potential mother and father must be 18 years old.
Exceptions:
Men can "opt-ed" out for moral and religious reasons. Permission will be granted via a board.
The board must consist of a majority of women.
Men who are granted permission must register with the state and are subject to the same laws and rules of other carrier's of "live sperm".
Getting an unsuspecting female pregnant will carry jail time, automatic child support and a fine.
Side Effects:
Acceptable side effects include: cramps, weight gain, blood clots, diminished sex drive.
Why only 95% of abortions will be eliminated:
Abortion’s will still be available for any woman with no question asked at any stage. I figure if you have gone through the above steps, you have good reasons for a termination.
Consequences:
STD’s will initially sky-rocket as people irresponsibly shun condoms. This rate will fall with proper sex education.
Why men should like this?:
Never again will you have to worry about a woman trapping you with a baby (according to some diarist, they are just lurking out there waiting for you)
No more condoms (if you been tested and are monogamous)
No more women using abortions as birth control. (apparently they are as plentiful as the women trying to trap you with a baby)
Why the right-wing won’t like this?:
No more punishing women for having sex.
This is a clear erosion of male reproductive rights. (I’m sure after chipping away at my reproductive rights for years, this should not be a big problem)
