Uh oh, lawmakers are coming after 'your' MANHOOD now. It was one thing when it was the 'girls', now it's serious! Not to worry, a 'GIRL' introduced it. A DEMOCRAT. Besides the ONLY way this would ever even make it to conference, and it likely would--if it was RACE specific.
Ted Cruz takes aim at Alabama vasectomy bill: 'Yikes'

“Under existing law, there are no restrictions on the reproductive rights of men,” a synopsis for Hollis' bill states. "This bill would require a man to undergo a vasectomy within one month of his 50th birthday or the birth of his third biological child, whichever comes first."In an interview with AL.com last week, Hollis said that the legislation comes in response to a law passed in the state last year that seeks to make abortion illegal almost all case, including in instances of rape or incest. The bill has not yet taken effect after being blocked in court.
“The vasectomy bill is to help with the reproductive system, and yes, it is to neutralize the abortion ban bill ... it always takes two to tango," she told the outlet.
“We can’t put all the responsibility on women. Men need to be responsible also,” she also said...
