For perhaps the first time in recent history, male reproductive health is at the forefront of political debate.

In at least six states, lawmakers — all women and all Democrats — have proposed bills or amendments in the last few weeks that aim to regulate a man's access to reproductive health care. It's their way of responding to the ongoing debate around contraception and abortion, said , director of the Women & Politics Institute at American University.

Some would prohibit men from getting vasectomies, such as Georgia's , which states:

Men's Reproductive Rights

Men have the right to be available to service the women where, when and if their services are wanted or needed.

The have the right to impregnate the women when ordered to do so.

If the women want to kill the babies later on, that is their business.

EVERYONE IS MISSING THE POINT: The implication is that your very right to procreate is given to you by the STATE. The LEFT is claiming complete control over our very being.

A man’s vasectomy is akin to a woman’s hysterectomy. I am unaware of any legislation that seeks to prevent a woman’s right to have a hysterectomy.

Liberals are so...childish.

Men have no reproductive rights. They have not had them in decades. A women can have an abortion without the father having any say so. A woman can claim to be on birth control or even steal a man's sperm and impregnate herself, and the man is forced to pay child support for 18 or more years. Your wife or girlfriend can cheat on you with another man, have his baby, and the husband or boyfriend is forced to support the child. Men have absolutely NO reproductive rights. My suggestion to young men is this. Have a vasectomy by the age of 18, and never ever get married. If you want a child, adopt one or raise your girl friend's children. There are plenty of those around. There was a time when I would have found what I just wrote disgusting, but after what I have seen other men go through with the legal system and divorces, I have been FORCED to deal with reality.

So the government is going to pay for male abortions? I might go along with that for something in trade.

All of the discussion of abortions and procreation miss the entire point - unmarried couples engaging in unprotected recreational sex that produces a baby for whom they aren’t ready to become responsible and married couples having children they can’t feed, house, or clothe without government (taxpayer) assistance.

Why aren’t THESE issues being discussed instead of how to murder babies and keep men from having vasectomies to prevent unwanted/unplanned children? In the late 60s, the women’s libbers not only brought us the end of the nuclear family, they brought us the era of single parent families, children growing up in poverty and procreation by irresponsible people who are neither financially or emotionally equipped to have and raise their children.

Why isn’t THIS front and center in the national debate!??

Maybe these women would like to volunteer to go through the procedure that aborted babies are put through, just so they can experience first hand what it is they are defending.

No need for legislation. Obama is emasculating men with his policies. Look at the number of Lesbians and Gays he has put into positions of power with an aim of deconstructing traditional male behavior and societal roles (i.e. in the military).

Nothing against gays but they are being used in Obama’s destroy America army, like the “Good Germans” of WW2.

Also, many of them are just plain incompetent political hacks.

of’course but nobody is out there saying because we don’t want to pay for abortions that’s the equivalent of denying a woman from getting her tubes tied. but denying a vasectomy somehow is?

yes, the stupid is ocurring across multiple levels in this article. like the state is in charge of people’s reprductive rights, then comparing apples and oranges between men and women rights. men have zero reproductive rights in the legal system. let’s just get that clear.
