Remember kids, willful childlessness is the newspeak for vasectomy and histerectomy.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Any birth control

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I'm getting a hysterectomy next month and I'm pumped. Having a uterus is the fucking worst.

[-] Case@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 month ago

My wife would agree. She has.... so many womanly issues, but can't find anyone to yank the damn thing out.

She wants no children.

I, her husband, had a vasectomy before we ever met.

We have no use for the damn thing and it just causes so many problems.

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Along with the other commenter, if you're near southern Illinois, I can point you towards the doctor my wife used.

Also here's this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Djia_WkrVO3S4jKn6odNwQk7pOcpcL4x00FMNekrb7Q/edit?usp=sharing

It's a list of doctors openly willing to do tubals. They might also do hysterectomies.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

My doctor is on that list! I don't wanna openly say who she is because I don't wanna completely doxx myself, but I can reply to any DMs with her name if anyone wants a Pa recommendation. She's great. First gynecologist that hasn't tried to pressure me into wanting kids.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If you are in Pa or willing to drive there, DM me. I can send you the info of my doctor. She's really open minded and is one of the few in the state that will sterilize women (taking out the fallopian tubes) just because they want it.

I have recurring endometriosis and we've just decided that a total hysterectomy to handle the issue for good is the best next step.

[-] Pnut@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Southern Baptists must have the highest rate of homosexuality in the world. It's all they talk about. They throw it in with absolutely everything. "Do you guys want to order a pizza and end homosexuality?" "What movie did you want to watch while we think about homosexuality?" "We're going to Aruba this summer and we're going to think about homosexuality"

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

thier trans obsession, must because they all love watch trans porn.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

As a trans man, I would be happy to have a child. My uterus still works, as much as I would suffer going off of testosterone enough to carry, it is something I have always wanted.

Unfortunately, these people have made it legal for me to be fired for being trans. They have voted for politicians that have done nothing to address the catastrophic state of medical care which renders it prohibitively expensive to realistically ever be able to care for a child.

I believe that children deserve stable living conditions and a future, which does not seem to be something that they are concerned with at all.

[-] riskable@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

support policies that promote childbearing.

...like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?

The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven't had any more children. If I can't have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won't put my wife's life at risk for one more child.

[-] evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the "moral majority" required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.

[-] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

Part of conservatism is the idea that "the more complex a solution is, the wronger it is."

Another part is "We should be able to control women's use of their hoo-hoos for pleasure by restricting them to being baby chambers."

Here we have a venn diagram where the circles are the same.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Easy way to rule these fuckers out is to get them to say "vagina"

If they can't do it without giggling, offence, or claiming obscenity, out they go

[-] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren't prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing.

A lot of these conservative groups have their heads fully packed with eugenics and social darwinian philosophy. The goal is to just keep popping kids out and come-what-may. Eventually, a large enough population will produce some ubermensch. And then you breed the ubermench to get your prodigies and your messiahs.

It's Genetics meets Calvinism. If you succeed, its because you've got the Purest Blood. If you fail, it is because you have trash DNA and should be cleansed to make way for the superior people who will follow.

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that's not what these people are advocating for.

[-] SaltSong@startrek.website 5 points 1 month ago

I've never know a happy Southern Baptist. I'm not interested in being as miserable as them.

[-] olympicyes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Heh, heard that one with Mormon instead

[-] KingOfSleep@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they'd kick their teenage kids out of the house. They're divorced now.

[-] goldenquetzal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Can these fucking Christian extremists stop ruining everyone else's lives

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

We all generally let them because we don't like confronting people in public spaces because everyone is too insecure about social perception.

[-] DannyMac@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Inscribed on their swords and shields are "Won't somebody please think of the children!"

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

"Willful childlessness?" Is that like the opposite of incel? Volcel?

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It means getting an abortion when your pastor rapes you.

[-] Beryl@jlai.lu 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"We are miserable and we want you to be too !"

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They're not miserable though, these kinds of sentiment are just cope. We have to stop reading things that appeal to our feelings and desires, that's how we got in this mess.

They're generally much, much happier than progressives or leftists, because stupidity is directly linked to higher levels of short-term happiness and satisfaction from things like socializing and entertainment.

I don't think there's any good lesson to learn from this. But I think we have to do a lot better to understand the motivations of the people who are trying to affect the world with their agendas. They're trying to make the world as "happy" as they are, and will always fail because others are too smart to accept a magical sky-daddy, just like they're too dumb to see the wonder of a universe without a storyline.

Whatever happens in the near-term, we all have to continue to live next to each other so knowing what powers your dumb neighbors is more important than any other thing you could learn.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm so tired of religious extremists trying to force their shitty Puritanical views on the whole world.

[-] themadcodger@kbin.earth 1 points 1 month ago

And since Blue States contribute more to taxes than they take, and vice versa for red, we are literally funding them dragging us back to the dark ages.

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can't just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I'd say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.

[-] AnalogNotDigital@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 month ago

Southern Baptists are one step better than Al Queda in my mind. They should be outlawed as an extremist group.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I just had a look at the website of the church I once went to many decades ago, and it was interesting to see how all their bigoted positions were couched in layers of euphemism about "family".

It's as though their web guy tried writing what they really believed, read it back, and thought "we can't say that out loud, it's clearly unacceptable, how do we say this without saying it?"

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 0 points 1 month ago

Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.

[-] themadcodger@kbin.earth 0 points 1 month ago

Since you brought up salad, any lettuce other than iceberg, lest we forget arugala-gate

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 0 points 1 month ago

As long as there's 1 liter of ranch dressing per leaf of lettuce, Jesus will allow it.

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago
[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

I was speaking for blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus.

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I'm rollin' around here.

What are they gonna do? Check if you're having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you've had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin' donkeys.

edit: Small gubment.

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

Ban birth control in your area.

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.

Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn't even stop the riots, they'd probably join in.

I hadn't considered that though in fairness. It's just such a crazy notion.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Broken clock, yadda yadda...

[-] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

the sports gambling is getting out of hand, yeah

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I don't think that phrase means what you think it means

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I know what I'm about.
